New GI Bill - 10/22/09 11:38 PM
Empty forum... it's like there's an echo in here.
This isn't really marriage related per say but since education is my thing, I wanted to see if there were any spouses out there making use of their service member's GI Bill to further their education. The new version of the GI Bill allows active duty members to transfer their GI Bill benefit to a spouse or a child which in my opinion, is a pretty good deal since a large majority of active duty soldiers and sailors end up not using it!
My wife is going to quit her job and go back to school next fall with my GI Bill, hopefully getting into a nursing program at some point. Anyway, I hope some folks are considering this because in today's economy, every leg up for military spouses is a good thing. It's hard enough to work when you have to move every few years....
