Anyone prior military who got started using GI Bill or VOC REHAB?
How did it work for you.
What was the hardest part for you?
Do you have any suggestions about being a truck driver?
Or about using GI bill or VOC REHAB.
What about tax records any suggestions?
thanks

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.
