I dunno man, the army actually pays pretty handsomely for my college - I'm actually still saving money and I'm not even being too frugal. In my opinion this just seems like a filler topic while news networks can't find anything else interesting on which to report. Also, I know a lot of guys who get out and don't even use their GI bill which is somewhat hard for me to understand. Well I understand it, but I still think it's not the best choice to make. It's a lot of money and you can just go get some BS(I mean bullshit not bachelors of science lol) degree to boost your salary at any job you may find, or just go for an associates while you get your life back on track and get re-acclimated to the civilian world. I mean you could even go get your pilot's license or something of that nature - as long as it's a school of some sort - it does't have to be a college with a campus per se. There are some rules as to how "official" the school has to be so you can't get together with your buddy and say that he's teaching you how to fly and you just draw the GI bill while doing nothing and he signs the paperwork for a cut.
