My experience thus far aligns with yours that the schools don't seem to really have an understanding of the GI Bill program, other than how to bill for it. And perhaps there's no reason they should. My earlier post was an amalgamation of three conversations, but all of them could be chalked up...

The schools I've talked with tell me it's not a straight dollars equation, that the VA evaluates a bunch of factors (classroom hours, flight hours, length of training, etc.), and the schools themselves don't always know what the student gets charged in terms of eligibility months. Thus my...

Updating this: I was scheduled to go last Christmas break to do the 141 ME add-on, but my flights to Florida were on Southwest. They of course had the Christmas 2022 meltdown of their IT systems that cancelled a ton of flights (including mine) and those that weren't cancelled were instantly...
