GI Bill Advice for Vets, or why you should active

[RocketMedic]

So the GI Bill pays a housing stipend on top of school at the school zip side's E5 BAH with dependent rate, IF at least ONE CLASS IS ON CAMPUS per semester. This means you can make a tax free $2505 for a school in Seattle during the semester, prorated for partial months. Don't waste gi Bill time on EMT unless it's part of a degree, the course is cheap enough to pay out of pocket. Same for medic unless you're after a degree.

So if you take it to the extreme, serve and ETS, move to the Bay Area and go to Berkeley or San Francisco Community College something. Work for American Ambulance part time in Fresno and commute once or twice a week into SF. Take in your $4329 tax free dollars a month, x36 months of school. Enjoy your cumulative $155,844 of income while you get your tuition and fees paid for. Bonus points if you enlist from Texas, do this, and go home for the Hazelwood Act's free 120 credit hours.



If I knew this, I'd have moved back to NorCal and utterly milked the thing dry.
