I Do NOT Have A COLLEGE Degree....And It's The Best Investment I Never Made....
HELL, I Didn't Even Completed JUNIOR High School......... And That Was Even A BIGGER Savings.
Retired At 56 ~ USAF Educated Me; And I'm Sure, FAR Better Than Any American College Even Could Have

Check your state and local area. Check with your Student Veterans Organization if applicable.

A common program you may qualify for is the Yellow Ribbon program. Either way check with the SVO in particular. The ones worth their salt and name will do all they can to help you, and is also a surefire way to establish a professional network.

If you use the Reserve GI Bill and go AD, the VA will reduce the GI Bill by the Reserve GI Bill time of usage.
