Rain, before you get out of the Army learn about PTSD. It is a normal reaction to abnormal events. Pay attention to yourself and if you exibit any signs of the ailment go to the VA and get some assistance. PTSD is real and it can screw with you in many ways.
Got my transcript in. Also got hooked up with an EMS station on post, looks like I'll be working on the ambulance for the next 4 months. Should be a great opportunity to network and meet people!You know what? I also see that I'm getting old. In my mind, all the tests were on one day, but the sheet says it was three. Bleh!

Rain, that's great to hear. Pray that things work out for you. Keep plugging.
Got to sit through a college introduction seminar. Really basic stuff, but for someone that's never been to college it was good to learn. Difference between a 2 and 4 years University, public vs private etc etc. Also found that three JUCOs within 50 miles of me have Paramedic programs. Some have a one year that just gets you the certificate, but one has a two year that gets you your certificate and an Associates in Applied Science. Have to get all my paperwork in order to apply, but I also have to start brushing up for entrance exams.
Community Colleges are great, more laid back, easier to get around. Professor to student ratio is sometimes better. Maybe try and get what's convenient for you for location and classes. Make sure credits are transferable to other colleges.

I'm going to be in a similar boat. My wife starts LVN school in January. I get out in March, and will also will have to go to school full time (to get full GI Bill benefits) and work. Throw in two kids and...well, it's not going to be fun.
I went to night shift, 4-12, when I went to college. Better selection of day classes vs night. I used to do my homework after work when everyone was sleeping, get more done in less time. Actually I did some at work too. And your wife too, that's great, you 2 will both be busy that's for sure, head down and keep stroking brother.
I think even though the last chapter in your book of life was great as you close it out and prepare for the next chapter is also is very exciting, and your chosen profession, is ever changing, and rarely going to be dull! good luck bro and take ever advantage you can get!
Use all that you learned while working for Uncle Sam. Vets are a minority and you have major experiance. Put that experiance to work for yourself and your family. All the best in the coming year Randy.
Just seen this thread.. First I would like to thank you so much for your service.. Second do not let anyone dis you for having a GED. I do not even have a GED as I had to join the work force at a young age. I do however have 2 college diplomas that I earned when I was 25 and 26. And last but not least thank you for still wanting to serve in the field of saving lives.. I wish you all the best
