You served your Country... Good Job and no one can take that away from you. You are a Hero! I finished up my Assoc. in a Science on active and then got an assignment to Dessert Storm. 20-years later I retired from the AF. Loser.... Hardly!BlaineG wrote:Biggest screw up of my life is not getting a degree while I was in the Army and had time...(and, they would have paid for it) I'm a loser because of that

Having achieved the ultimate promotion (retired), I no longer have time to work....Blaine, check what WA offers for Vets. I did the same as you and by the time I "got around to it" the time to use my GI Bill had passed (10 years). Turns out Texas has the Hazelwood Act which is a program for vets that enlisted in TX, were TX residents during their service or ETS'd in TX (I think that's how it breaks down ). It offers assistance for attending State funded colleges. WA state may have something similar and being retired you probably have all the time in the world now, right?
I'm ballparking 5 years for this 2 year degree since I'm (most likely) going to stick to 1 class per semester.Griff wrote:I have a perfectly good liberal arts degree... qualifies me to teach high school... or ask, "...would you like fries with that burger..." A 4 year degree that took me more than 8 to attain...
Wouldn't you rather associate with a better class of person? Like outlaw bikers?Griff wrote:Com'n LOTTO... I wanna get a LAW degree...

without the education/degree, I'd never have ended up in the career I ended up in. The degree was simply the magic key that opened the door, the talking point to begin the job interview. The hiring people would not even look at me without the degree.
