Re: Webb GI Bill Passed by Senate "Any info on how this is b

It's a pretty good deal. Not great by all means. No complaints here. I would make over 3000 more a year just going to school. I still can't find anything about the flying benefits...

Another change to the REAP involving pursuit of flight training provides for a substantial increase in such benefit. Individuals pursuing flight training full time under the subchapter II program would be given 60 percent of the established charges for tuition and fees.

Individuals pursuing flight training currently under the REAP receive 24, 36, or 48 percent of those fees depending upon length of active duty service.

This sounds like the amounts haven't been determined yet, but will probably be guided by the current rules outlined by VA/Part 141 requirements for flight schools.

Payments will be made month to month, just like the last GI Bill was if you attended regular school.

I can't wait to see what they end up deciding. If they cap it at the tuition level for the state, some states it wont even cover 50% of the costs of flight training where others it will.

88MPH, you still at DM? I'm deployed right now (not to the desert)

http://www.gibill2008.org/benefits.html Check out the Most expensive schools in each state list... if you can't open it send me a PM and I can tell you what each state's limit is.

CT is $8362/year. Wyoming is at the bottom of the list at $3515 and Montana at the top of the list at $13,610.

Stupid. . .we should just get a damn blank check in my opinion.

But then, like McCain said last year - that'd be enough incentive for people to leave, leaving no pawns to fight the wars of powerful men.

I say we should just get a copy of the receipt of the bill that's sent to the local VA office. This should apply to the school (tuition, bookstore, cafeteria, housing, et al.) and to the local housing office if we don't want to dorm it up.
