Is Higher Power part 141 or under an approved VA syllabus?

I ran into issues with this once before, and we remain in appeals 3+ years later. I have copies of the VA approved syllabus from 2005, but still wait for my day in front of the board.... lesson here, make sure you are approved before you give the place the green light to fly. Appeals is a long, and nearly impossible process.

You can have non-approved courses approved by the VA, but stand by for paperwork and delays. It amazes me that I can be funded 100% to become a dental hygienist, massage therapist, or PADI SCUBA instructor - but becoming a commercial (or above) pilot is nearly impossible to qualify as "vocational training", much less get 100% tuition.

Then again the VA probably has it right:
"You'll never be more than a bum with a pilot certificate!" The same attitude existed since two bike repairmen tried to get wood and fabric to defy gravity, same attitude existed after WWII, and on into the US Mail and Barnstormer days.... only bums and fools bought airplanes - like them our careers have only seen short periods of success and several disasters. Despite my love for the WACO biplane, those Weaver Aircraft Company brothers smartly got into the ice cream business and founded Eskimo Cream Pies and made a fortune outside of aviation.
