DougH 270 #2 May 31, 2012 Use your GI Bill for a college degree, use the better job from said degree to pay for your licenses and certs."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I checked."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has been covered before and the short answer is that the G.I. Bill doesn't cover such expenses, as it is not an approved education program.

They did open the Post-9/11 up to cover professional certifications, but I still don't believe any of the skydiving ones were allowed."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure you can get the tests paid for, but I don't know how to get that."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #11 June 1, 2012 QuoteNo, pretty sure it doesn't pay for them. Not that I checked. I pays for none of the Skydiving Related Certs right now. Piloting needs to be a Commercial Rating and Accredited School. There is two Riggers School working on getting recognized, but that has been getting "worked on" as long as I have been in the sport. The GI Bill and its related funds are intended for accredited Colleges, Universities and Vocational Schools. Using it for any thing else opens you up to legal issues no former SM can afford. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
