I want to go to college. I followed my husband all over, we never had the money for me to go to college. I want to go to college, then my husband can stay home while I work and put him through college. He retired after twenty one years. He works full time and always will unless I can get a good education to support us while he gets his. nuf said.... 39317@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:54:21 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2938.html#37763 As a marine preparing for retirement in four years the one major cost that I have not been able to save for is my Childs education. The transferability of the Graham bill outweighs all other benefits for careerists... 37763@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:34:34 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2938.html#36116 I am glad I saw this after reading about s. 22. This bill doesn't benefit reserves as much as s.22. (bad for them, but fair) With s. 22 they get a lot more money (ie this is Webb supporting War veterans...) but the bill does not specifically include those who have gone to war. so, after 9 mos, reserve pv2s get just as much money for school as ncos. with this bill, the amount for 12 yr vs. less than 12 yr. is not that much. If, s. 22 passes, which it looks like it will, then why stay on AD. Some units are deploying just as much as reserves. with s. 22 I really don't like how where you go to school depends on how much you can get. my Bah in dc as e-5 w/ dep is $2000 a month. Bah at ft. hood e-5 w/ dep is 948.... 36116@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 01 Jun 2008 12:19:28 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2938.html#35308 BTW--S 22 does nothing for those who's service ended prior to 11 September 2001.... 35308@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 20 May 2008 15:40:32 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2938.html#35306 USMC Vet--If better only equals bigger handout, then sure.

Family members endure hardships that civilians just don't and cannot ever understand. Hopefully the bill will pass soon.... 35237@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 19 May 2008 16:29:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2938.html#34934 12 years of service!? What does that do for me? I was medically separated at just less than 4 yrs in. I would be homeless if it wasn't for the current CH30 due to VA denial of claims that were the cause of my med separation.... 34934@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 15 May 2008 18:03:28 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2938.html#34917 S22 is better.
