    I served from 79 to 85. There was no GI Bill at that time. The Vietnam GI Bill ended in 77, and the Montgomery GI Bill started in 83 but wasn't retroactive. What a ripoff.

      Reverse that. Use your GI Bill for the undergrad and then use Voc-Rehab for the MS. I did exactly this. Dont burn all your GI bIll though as it comes into play I cannot remember why? The Ed counselor for Voc will assess your disabilities. I have a MH rating as most and this is where in my case the focus was. So if you are rated 70% PTSD and want to pursue an advanced degree in in Criminal justice they will question that. So, suggest you pursue something that's compatible with your disabilities. They also look at your earnings and where you are in life. Not solid for all as it can go all types of ways as some are approved and others not. I was ask "don't you think you should pursue a higher rating? I said NO I want to work and better myself past my disabilities. I was approved and went to Embry Riddle and they are not cheap. I am 70% and do well $$$. Better money and not stuck at home though I probably should be.

    I am looking for a job, and I keep finding programs that can help, but they only support post-9/11 veterans. NY has temporary jobs but only for post-9/11 veterans. Wounded Warrior Project helps post-9/11 veterans. Why isn't anyone fighting for the old veterans? VR&E is almost useless if you are pre-9/11 and have a family to support. I am happy for the rest of you. Just pissed that I keep getting left behind and forgotten about. Keep in mind that one day, you will be old, and they may create a new program for people your children's age and cut you off.

  • @Twizzzums

    I mean politics and the state of the country aside. The military needs to stay competitive. I mean, like you ain’t going anywhere with just a B.S./B.A. these days aside from federal work or normal work. Everything of note requires a Masters Degree or a combination of a Bachelor’s and various certifications. On top of work experience in that field, which you can’t get experience in the first place without any of that beforehand. I genuinely believe the military benefits should be a BA and at least into your Masters to some extent. Couple that with actual commitment to keeping veterans housed, so either a debt forgiveness program or the VA Home Loan should be a guaranteed 300k with an honorable discharge minimum. VA Health Care should automatically be given to every Honorable Discharge and Medical retiree.
    Don’t get me wrong. These benefits are FANTASTIC if and when they are used accordingly. But, the value is slipping. Maybe it’s temporary in comparison to the economy and work force, either way it is unable to convince a lot of young people.
    Idk, I feel bad because I feel like I’m being ungrateful, and I’m not. But I also feel like, something ain’t quite what it was sounding like.

    Why can’t they let us veterans use our GI Bill to pay off a spouses student loan debt?!! I know you can if you were married prior to ETS. But why can’t we choose to use it if married after ETS? It’s our benefits let us use them. My spouse has student loan debt and I do not. And I don’t plan to use my GI Bill at all. So it’s just going to waste now.
