Interesting article if you want to further your education before you get out of the military

Before you transition, assess whether you have the qualifications lined up to pursue your next career.
Editor’s Note: This is an excerpt from Tom Wolfe’s book, “Out of Uniform: Your Guide to a Successful Military-to-Civilian Career Transition.”

I wish I had that chance years ago. Evan after my ETS it took several years to convince me to go to college until I got a letter from VA saying I qualified for Voc Rehab. Then I jumped on it.

I screwed up after I got out and didn't take advantage of the benefit, SGT Eric Dziekan.

SGT (Join to see) - I did the same with my Army College Fund, lost it by not using it. Fortunately VA was there later.

The VA is good for some things besides long lines and waiting forever, SGT Eric Dziekan. Lol
