    Okay, let me start out by apologizing for anyone who was watching this for not updating yet. Don't worry you didn't miss anything until about a week ago. I have put in several more calls to the "customer service" number since my last post with most of the reps telling me they didn't know or just a little longer. The last call is the one that really angered me though. A lady answered and listened to my questions for a while before finally giving up on the resistance and answering to the best of her ability. She told me that I was still in processing and that there is no timeline. I asked her about the master file that I was told was the only thing I was waiting on and she replies with "the what?" That's when I had had enough. At this point I was two months in and had only gotten two answers, and two answers that implied either one of them was lying or had no idea what they were talking about. I know, not a big shock with a government worker. Well, the only thing left for me to do was to focus on my current job for a while and plan on starting next year if I ever got that letter. Then it happened. My fiance shows up at my work with a giant grin on her face. I got em. Just shy of three months after they downloaded the application I got my acceptance letter. According to the letter I'm good to go and all I have to do is take it to the school and enroll. Looks like I'll be joining you all on the road soon. I've got some personal things to work out first so it may be a month or two, but I will be there and I'll finally have something to talk about in this thread. Feel free to hit me back for any questions.

    there is a school in Iowa called Iowa community college and they are very experianced in the GI bill and becuase their course is and acredited college course and they have housing available it is a great alternitive for the military to look at.

    I am using my gibill now, started with southern union state community college, in opilika al 2 weeks ago , the VA paid for the school in full, gave me some money for supply stuff, and will pay my housing stypin for a month and a half while in school. Rohel sent my the paper work to get the VA apprentice pay if I goto work for them after graduating with my Cdl.

    The gibill will work for the training and the apprentice program. To get the full value goto a community college cdl program, you will get a book and supply check (very nice ) and your housing allowence, plus they will pay all of the tuition, some of the 3 week schools kind of screw you with the gibill. If the company you are going to work for participates in the apprentice program they will have the paper work to fill out, and they will send it off ( I know Rohel does)
