Schooling after you finish your military service.?

No need to fret, aviation techs are usually in demand. I know there are lots of defense contractors that would probably hire him. An under-looked field right now are UAV's. Maybe he can translate some of his helicopter knowledge over to that.

Try these sites for schools....it should get you started.....

Some schools won't give him credit for his training but some will, he just has to look around for a school that will. Embrey Riddle (spelling?) is a good school that will give credit for his training. I'd agree a defense contractor would be the best route for him to go to make some money. He could even go back in the army and work as a DAC (department of the army civilian) he'd be a shoe in for a job like that, plus it pays pretty good. He may have a hard time finding work on the civilian sector though, cause no one has apaches besides the army.

You can not work on civillian aircraft with out an A&P License from the FAA. That will take about 2 years on training and they will not accept military training. . It make sense because if you cannot get a job on the outside you will have to stay in the military.

They is the only way the military can keep highly trained people.

I had brother in the same situtation. He had to got to school for the 2 years.

Some school may get him credit for military training but they are not certified by that FAA and the degree from the school is worthless.

Best of luck

P.S I felt the same way when I got out, but you just suck it up and move on.

Alot of colleges do accept some military training. Problem is most of the units are applied towards elective units. I had pretty much 3 years done at the University of Maryland while in the military. When I went to Cal Poly Pomona I pretty much had 1 year. The units required to graduate was 200 units, I had a little more than 300 units. I wanted to experience college life anyways and got to use most of my GI BILL.

If he signed up for the program he has ONLY 10 years to use his GI Bill. Time flies by and according to the VA only 1/3 of all veterans use all their benefits. There are many schools that accept military service, you just have to look around.

Also Maria Cantwell (D) is putting forth a bill that will make those GI Bill benefits good for the life of the veteran. Call your Senator and get some support for her.

no after 23 years in the military . there are a lot of schools that give credit for a lot of your military schools that you have attended
