With a fattened GI Bill covering full tuition and more, the number of veterans attending college this fall is expected to jump 30 percent from last year to nearly half a million. That's left many universities looking for ways to ease the transition from combat to the classroom.

Hypocrites! They don't want military people on their campii while they are in the military but they a very eager to accept them once the BIG DOLLARS come into play. Piggies.

It's funny how that works.

Maybe we can turn the tide on campus’ with our perspective and strength in larger numbers? I am thinking about using the new bill to return to school full time, maybe we need a nation wide organization for vets going back to college?

I think I already know that the answer to this question is a big fat no!, but since I haven't kept current on the G.I. bill, I'll ask ...Can the Bill be used more than once on education benefits. (Please treat me gently.)

I don't know. Anyone needing to know should be able to ferret out the info at military.com.
