"Yes, I thought so. I was lucky and got in under the old GI Bill in 1975. I definitely used it."
I used the GI Bill to pay for tuition to get my doctorate in late 1960-70s. I used it again allowing me to pay a miniscule down payment on a house later in the 1970s. It sure came in handy.

LOL, good for you-I tried investigating using the GI Bill mortgage when my wife and I bought our house in 1988, and...it was utterly inadequate for us at that time.

But I deliberately commuted to a state college so I could make it work under the GI Bill.

My grades weren’t good enough to get into a more prestigious college, but that didn’t slow me down. No student loans, lived at home and commuted, and my education served me well in my profession.
