The new GI Bill.....

Alright, here it is, the new GI Bill. Been a long time coming and I believe it has everything they said it would. Question now is will it encourage guys to come in, and then split? Or, better yet, will it discourage otherwise career minded guys from staying in? That seems to be the argument. Personally, I believe it won't change a thing. The right guys, the ones we want anyways, will still be drawn into the service for all the right reasons and not just for their college benefits. Perhaps the same percentage of these will make a career of it as well. Lets hope at least.

Additionally, I’m of the old VEAP era and had no GI bill, now I will. While I won’t need much since I’ve completed my BS and some of my masters, and my two oldest kids are already in college, I can now give it to my youngest daughter. Great but, hmmmm............

Some how it just doesn’t feel right. Feels Kind of like welfare must feel I guess. Should I lighten up or what?…..jd
