He got the VA to pay for it which is great but they won’t fund you at every school or if you want to pass your benefits on to your kids. The 20k RTP bonus they give you wouldn’t have been enough to cover the time I needed in my case and I didn’t have a part 141 school nearby to get it funded by the VA. My CFI rating has more than paid for itself but in my case I was still AD and had over a year left so instructing was a side gig for my off time. To each his own.
