Re: Answers from the Veterans Admin
Yeah, unfortunately the only way you can collect the full $1,250 is if you go to a degree program, like Westwind or Mesa. They will only pay 60% of VA approved costs, but you can use your 100% Tuition Assistance for ground schools.
I don't want to bring flames to this post, but I'm split between Flight Safety and Ari-Ben. I understand that the training/facilities/local area is better at FSA, but the cost/multi-time/instructor wait time makes Ari look more appealing. I'm thinking that a tour will fix all that.
My new boss at the 76th said that I need about one month (October) to get recurrent and back up to speed in the KC-10 again, plus I could use a nice Pacific TDY or desert run (tax break) before I'm off to school. All that being said, I'll be in Florida in November to finish flight training to my MEI/CFII/CFI, then finish my Pro Aero degree with ERAU while I instruct.
What are your plans? Are you going back to hydro at the 514th?
