Marchvet Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi, I am a disabled veteran from hampton VA and looking for companies that may offer assistance in training. 12k is a bit out of my range(due to limited disability income). Is anyone familiar with programs to help disabled veterans? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pig Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) You don't have access to your VA eduction benefits? $12k would probably just barely cover your private. Edited December 24, 2013 by Flying Pig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marchvet Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Nope. I was lied to a long time ago and was told since I'm medically discharged I didn't need to contribute to the GI bill and many other bullcrap stories that lead me down the wrong road. After a 9 year long battle trying to get my 100%, I was exhausted from fighting and stopped inquiring. 2 years after I got my 100%, I asked about education benefits and they told me everything had expired. I asked again a year ago about anything the VA had to offer and they said I was on my own. I am in the process of saving money, but that alone will take me another 10-15 years to save. Anyway, I will keep looking and hopefully find some help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pig Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Tough to hear man. I know a couple people who had the GI Bill and 10 years passed in the blink of an eye just because of life. Is there a way you can get into the aviation industry in another capacity? Maybe as an A&P? Get in with a helo operator? If you have to save, maybe working in the industry in some capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marchvet Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 That is also another option I've been looking into. You would think that living 5 mins from Langley AFB(I'm X army), I could find a ton of training. The closest is in chesapeake like 45 mins away. I really want to do this so I'm pushing and finding all options available. Thank you for the input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
