    I would just go talk to the nearest veterans affairs office.The G.I bill is a hard one cause it pays out monthly.And thats about how long the average school is.I would look into the workforce investment act.They pay up to 5k for schooling,and thats how I got my school paid for.The local veterans affairs office should be able to point you in the right directions to get a school paid for on the government..The best part is,you will never have to pay it back..as far as drivin,you have to do it to see if its for you.You have a 50/50 shot with it lol..There is plenty of driving options out there..

    I am starting a Driving School here in Cincinnati, Ohio. Napier and the veterans is paying for this through the Workforce investment Act. I have been out of work for 9 months. Call your local veterans or unemployment office.

    vondalhenry,
    You may want to check in on the Vocational Rehab through VA. I am doing so, and if you qualify, they will pay pretty much everything. School, books, license, and pay you a subsistence allowance as well.
    For info, google va vocational rehab program.

    I just finished an Associates Degree in December. It was a good decision for me. Voc Rehab paid for tuition, monthly allowance, books, supplies, laptop, and the software I needed(student versions). I wouldn't use my Voc Rehab for a driving school, if they even offer that. I would use it for a degree, even a general studies degree. I was lucky that with the allowance and my wife's income, I was able to devote a lot of time to studying. I had been out of school for 22 yrs., so I had to work on my study technique. The hardest part for me was the public speaking class.
