as for travel, its not like youll be going to brazil or germany TDY all the time. those deployments are deployments, probably not tdy's. as for loans, unless youre stationed near a good school, youll prob go online, in which case your per semester cap will max every class, so TA ends up covering only 1 semester a year. (i took 9 courses this year and paid for 3, 10 class/yr is being a full time student). youll choose a job before you go to meps the 2nd time. |
Oh how the tables have turned
