Tuition Assistance Slashed (if you are a Marine, it got destroyed)
#1
So DoD has "as yet unannounced" new TA caps that just leaked all over the place.

Old caps: $250 per semester / $4500 per FY

New caps: $175 per semester / $3500 per FY

These are NOT yet in place. This leaked when the Marines announced they are drawing, quartering, and disemboweling their entire TA program, matching the "new" DoD standards of $175 per hour. But the Marines, always known to be "first", decided to one-up the DoD and cut their troops down to $875 per year -- that's only 5 credits per year!! I pity those guys, especially when the "new" DoD cap is four times higher than their cap. As one commenter to the story wrote, the Marines just made the decision to have less educated troops. Wow.

Jeezus this is getting crazy.
