    Yes, the Army has student loan repayment for enlisted enlistments, not for officers though.

    The student loan must be federally backed student loans, not private student loans.

    They will pay up to $65,000 worth of student loans back.

    I don't think they do, I have never heard of it. But you can try getting a loan from them to pay it off and then paying that off. http://www.militaryloans.com/customer/landing.html... offers loans to active military personnel at much lower rates. It is definitely something to consider.

    You can always expect all sorts of monkey business from wannabe military on here, lol, The answer is YES of course they pay back student loans, its a major reason why some people join. Army and Navy

    is 65K max., look up the others yourself i think airforce is 10K, if you joining marines your probably didnt go to college so no worries.

    Well, I suppose its possible, but they wouldn't call it paying off your debt ... it would be called a sign on bonus.

    I highly doubt they would give a sign on bonus large enough to cover the full cost of 4 years of school though.

    maybe it depends on the state you are in, but I know where I am from if you are going to a state supported school, being in the Guard will get you a hundred percent tuition waiver, up to a certain point.

    Short Answer.....NO.... Those are YOUR bills..... your responsibility not theirs

    The military gives you what it promises IN WRITING on your contract.... nothing more , nothing less

    They wont pay your mastercard bill..... your Bank of America loan...... or your tuition assistance bill....

    THEY pay you.... it is up to you to pay them...... and if you do not pay them they can throw you out of the service

    not all loans qualify for CLRP. not every person gets offered CLRP and if you take it you often give up something else like GI Bill.
