Is that how you used to talk to your Blacklion Soldiers in 1-28th, too? Definitely respectful speech. I don't think your retiree status should excuse from adhering to Army values...but moving on...

Deployed servicemembers are taking classes if they want too. Many of them even manage to maintain great GPA - check eArmyU "Making the grade".

The forum thread is titled "Veterans' benefits" - what's wrong with me posting this topic? I thought public forums are meant to discuss whatever you want. Call it whining, I call it sharing.

I might have whined but I do not necessarily need a sympathy. Way to offer help, though

I enrolled in this eArmyU laptop option program. I already completed 6 credits towards my MBA. But here is what sucks: Army TA pays only $250 per credit hour. I take 6 credits per semester. The cheapest grad tuition offered by eArmyU is $375 per credit hour. Thus,, for two courses, I have to pay $750 out-of-pocket expenses.

Here is another downside that recruiter/MEPS liaison does not tell you about: you cannot draw GI Bill or apply for top-up assistance unless you've got 2 years of federal service. Plus Top-Up will not cover retroactive tuition fees even I'll be eligible for it.

I tried FAFSA to cover my extra spending, however I am not eligible for it.

Do you now how can I fund my education without getting into student loans? And, unfortunately, I cannot attend non eArmyU insititutions yet.

Please advise.

Thank you

Army strong!
