Boyd,

Can you PM a POC for that email? I've been working the same issue, though of course I hadn't bothered to actually contact the VA--why go to the source?

But I have contacted HPA, they have of course been very helpful but they also confirmed what I've heard from everyone else--no one really knows yet. Specifically, it's pretty clear that you can get up to $10k/year (and T2s info checks, you cannot use it for books or housing) but HOW you get it, and more importantly, how many months of your 36 months eligibility it takes away--that's hasn't been answered. Unless Boyd got the answer that is.

I don't want to apply common sense to the govt, but if I were to do so--it doesn't make sense that you can do $10k of training and only use 1 month of eligibility. That works out to an equivalent rate of $90k per school year, which is a lot more than in state tuition at any state I've heard of. So, fingers crossed, but not counting chickens (or type ratings)
