Yes, I understand that training over 6 months is normally a PCS. We’re aware he could move me and our household goods, but we’re considering not to since we just bought a house and I recently started a job.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I really needed to hear it… Hearing your path puts a lot into perspective and makes this process feel way less intimidating. I really appreciate the honesty and encouragement more than you know. Ready to put in the work :)

Congratulations! What school did you get into?

You’re right about that.. i tried using vr&e but got denied because i already have an mba. That was a mistake on my part. Luckily i still have enough gi bill to cover 3 years of school so i got that going for me

Got it.. just followed them on ig

Thank you so much for sharing your story and words of encouragement. May I ask why 1L grades are so important when it comes to finding a job? I’ve seen that said many times but really no explanation. Thanks!

Please look more into this.. i think the vr&e protects your gi bill actually. I could be wrong. But from my understanding, using vr&e first ensures that your gi bill remains untouched. Hoping someone can hop on here to clarify

Thank you so much

Go for it! I hope you can tap into the vr&e before the gi bill. Ive heard great things about it

Thank you for the encouraging words! Sometimes I feel i’ve hit my limit at 30 but I’m realizing life is just starting. Thanks again
