General Discussion

I was exempt from looking for a job since I was in school full time. All I had to do was go to the vet rep at the University and she would sign off on forms that stated I was a "full time student". She would also sign off on my GI Bill/Army College Fund paper work.

The Army was pretty much the best bet I ever made, sure I ended up in a war but for a 3 year enlistment I managed to save nearly $10K from wages in that time, got around $45K for college through the GI Bill and Army College fund. Was able to file for a "loss of income" and received Federal and State Grants. I then managed to get an Athletic Scholarship in my second year.

All this ran out in my 3rd year and I pretty much worked full time at Little Ceasars Pizza making $7 and hour. I also went deep into hours and since I was pretty much broke, so I took around 24 credit hours each time so I could graduate early as I could not see me being able to afford college/hectic schedule for my last year.

Oh, this same Vet rep from the University helped me get my first "real job" also. On my last visit to her for my GI Bill stuff she said that she was gonna make a calls to other vets that had been through the University and see if they could help me out....was hired 2 weeks after graduation at a supplier to Honda in the engineering department where a vet worked that went to the same school I did.

Every University has a veterans rep there....did you have the vet rep review your case at the time?
