If anybody wanted to join the military for school, the DOD has cut all tuition assistance. Meaning if you wanted to get an education while in, you now have to pay for it yourself. The national news isn't reporting this, so just a fair warning to anyone that plans on enlisting. You still get your gi bill, but you can only use that after 3yrs.
-
For anybody wondering, here's a link on the story directly from the DoD's website:

Total bullshit... Taking care of our active warriors and returning veterans should be a much higher priority. This shit pisses me of beyond measure. I'm still enlisting, but this is a truely shameful act against our heros. I wonder what they will cut next...
-
From what I've heard illegals are still recieving tuition assistance. I haven't heard much about it but if that is true, this administration needs to seriously rethink their bullshit agenda.

You would be correct, its on the state level however. But the kicker is that with the dream act an illegal can become a citizen if they go to school for 3yrs or more, or serve in the military. serving in the military makes sense, going to college doesn't. Not only does it make college that much more competitive for natural citizens, but in essence the state is paying to make people legal citizens.

It's bull shit. Our soldiers don't get money for college, they come back from overseas with PTSD and missing limbs, but they don't get care for that either. Our soldiers give so much for this country and all they get is crap. Yet we give millions to foreign countries who hate us? When did we go wrong.

Electing the current Congress, that's where.

Wow, men and women sacrifice their live's for the country and now the government can repay that debt, bullshit!

You say that now, but if you want to make the navy a career, your gonna need college classes under your belt.

Isn't it great that our government will spend 15 million on a study of why lesbians are fat, but won't keep finding for college for military personnel.

See Mooncruizer's and my post, people therein is the answer plain and simple, when our congress is returned to the simple, OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, and FOR THE PEOPLE we will continue to lose as citizens, enough action at the polls and in a few years we will not have to bitch, BUT IT TAKES CONCERTED ACTION PERIOD... I don't like to discuss politics on the forum but members this is the ony way the people, (you and me, and the rest of the nation) as a nation will be able to correct anything... VOTE PEOPLE, VOTE!!!
I guess I am up to my $0.04 now.

This is a thing? You can be a scientist and studying such things? Sounds more like the ponderings of some frat boys. I know what I want to be when I grow up...

This infinity. :o

The current administration wanted to make sure it hurt...
The people voted for this.

This just pisses me off. I cant even go to school because it costs too much, and one of the few ways that i could go to college without being in debt for the rest of my life, is no longer an option, yet an illegal can get free college...

Ahh I see. But still, our soldiers deserve a good tuition. I personally vote for the cutting of foreign aid and "lesbian fatness research" and an increase in military benefits and public services. We should also have a national pizza day. Sure, we'd all get fat off our asses, but it's pizza. Who cares? ;D

Welcome to America. Where the government stops caring about its own people drops everything for a group of people, who aren't even legally here, because it would be "racist" not to. The government is a pussy, in my opinion.

FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FACT!

From what I heard is that only the Army and Marines are getting cut. Is this true? Or is the cut for everyone? And does this effect ROTC scholarships?

How about kids get vocational train in high school, like every other industrialized nation? That's just my thing.
As far as the pizza day goes, Rick yeah! Everyone wins, even fat lesbians.
-
We have vocational schools you can go to in high school. The issue is kids use it as a way to get out of half of their classes and fuck around rather than actually learn a vocation.

I wasnt expecting this post to get so many responses. good to know people care still. I can tell you on base everyone is pissed, they plan on booing obama if he ever comes out to visit, which he probably wont.

There are more of us than you think... and the other side wants us to believe we are outnumbered.

Federal T/A was cut for the Army and Marine Corps this doesn't effect State Funded T/A for the National Guard. The Reserve Select GI Bill is still fully funded and can be used after completion of IEDT.
ROTC is a different animal each branch is different, and all branches have dramatically cut funding for ROTC scholarships, the days of ROTC scholarships handed out to MS1's and 2's are gone. The minimum requirements are high and the competition for the few hard slots is fierce.
Bottom line up front, don't expect the military to give away anything.

T/A is back! Federal and State! If your in contact your FLL ASAP.
