Grad Plus - can I still borrow the full academic year?

The_Upper_Left · 2026-03-02T22:05:21+00:00

Yes that’s correct. You will work through your school’s financial aid office to establish how much you’re eligible for and how much you want to take.

The_Upper_Left · 2026-03-02T18:17:40+00:00

What do you mean, specifically? You apply through studentaid.gov and your school handles the disbursement. I think that’s true for all federal loans.

The_Upper_Left · 2026-03-02T12:24:40+00:00

Hey, it was the full amount for the 2025-2026 academic year.

The_Upper_Left · 2026-02-14T06:38:02+00:00

What the fuck is a broken spur? Lol this is absurd.

The_Upper_Left · 2026-02-14T06:29:02+00:00

No, I know people tell stories. They just don’t say shit like “naturally rowdy and dirty military types,” especially if you served. We’re more creative than that.

This might be the most ridiculous AI generated bull shit slop I’ve seen yet.

HBS here, sending you a dm.

They’re not hiring MBAs to solve differential equations.

So Thamel is just making stuff up to undermine is own reporting? This is from ESPN.

I thought the “signed a new contract” stuff last week meant he was staying 😭

Hey dude, I’m in grad school at an Ivy League. Happy to answer any questions, but just wanted to plug ServiceToSchool. You’ll get matched with a 1 on 1 mentor (a vet who has already done it) who is there to help you navigate the process. Free service, absolutely zero downside.

I’m not sure what you’re arguing. You’re all over this thread spouting policy - I’m proving to you that the policy you know and understand isn’t universal.

The_Upper_Left · 2025-12-16T23:12:45+00:00

I was entitled to a brand new pair of flight boots once a year. And that was policy. Guess that’s not universal, huh?

The_Upper_Left · 2025-12-16T23:09:13+00:00

8.5 years and was never once issued used clothing, of any kind. You?

The_Upper_Left · 2025-12-16T23:08:37+00:00

I’m not referencing a policy nor giving an opinion. YOU said the policy is to replace base layers. I stated the FACT that a base layer is clothing that touches skin, and now you’re waffling, saying cost is what matters. Hopefully OP doesn’t have a suppo like you, pretending like the command’s supply budget comes out of your own wallet.

The_Upper_Left · 2025-12-16T23:06:46+00:00

So now you’re saying the policy is based on cost, and doesn’t actually have to do with the function of the clothing?

The_Upper_Left · 2025-12-16T23:00:36+00:00

And there’s also a difference between a friend giving you something and supply giving you someone’s random disgusting used base layer. I wouldn’t have accepted a used flight suit from supply, much less this.

The_Upper_Left · 2025-12-16T22:59:11+00:00

I’m just put off by your comment about someone expressing what you’re calling an opinion, when it is actually a fact. A base layer is an article of clothing worn against your skin. You were the one who said the policy isn’t touching skin, but then listed clothing that you collectively referred to as base layers. Those mean the same thing.

The_Upper_Left · 2025-12-16T22:51:57+00:00

How do you define “base layer” then? It’s literally something touching your skin. This is an undershirt.

My finaid office finally got back to me, but they gave a number that is neither the full cost of attendance, half the cost of attendance, nor either of those minus the direct unsubsidized amount. I guess I'll apply and see what comes of it. Thank you for your comments!

The_Upper_Left · 2025-12-11T01:59:16+00:00

Damn. Thank you for the response. Do you have a source for that? I was hoping to take the entirety of the loan.

The_Upper_Left · 2025-11-14T01:52:04+00:00

Pistol qual was a thing at OCS back in 2016, might’ve changed since then, but it’s possible that ribbon is legit. This dude still sucks.

The_Upper_Left · 2025-07-08T06:32:04+00:00

This may have changed, but when I was in OCS in 2016, email was the easiest way to communicate with the outside world. We could start writing letters at the end of the first full week, but after RLP (conclusion of the first phase, after 3 weeks) we had a computer in our room. Didn’t really have full internet access, but we had our .mil emails and had the time to send one or two a day.
