No more tuition assistance

[Riley2012]

I first received an email from TESC Thursday night and then awoke to a "million" emails from different military sources stating to the deadline to submit TA request was at 5:00pm.. THE SAME DAY? Trust me it is huge if you are involved in any local college communities or are currently serving. I transferred to the Reserves recently from the Guard - who is not affected by the cut because they are state funded. Thank GOD I am in my last semester or I would be POed. They also state that you can still use your GI bill benefits, but for some (especially people who have not deployed etc) that is not enough to cover school cost. What I do not know if it only effects TA or if it includes other things like CLEP/DSST cost. Once again I am so glad I did not postpone school another semester; however, I am sure it is not the end of TA.


As a side note: This will probably affect moral in a big way..It's my personal opinion most join because of the benefits..Education being the biggest reason.
