It shouldn't be this complicated but the red tape & the amount of bureaucracy BS just to get your school paid is astounding. A lot of people will just give up.
I couldn't tell you how many hours I spent chasing paper & signatures to jump through these hoops just to pay my school. Glad, I finally got my Bachelor Degree over with but I did end up having to pay some out of my own pocket.

I did my Bachelors degree as soon as I retired back in 1996 and went to school on Ft Riley--was lucky and had no issues

I really hate hearing veterans having problems going to school and dealing with a bunch of BS red tape--I know all the non-american, non-veteran, non tax paying personnel going to Purdue do not have any problems getting there all expense paid tuition/room/board vacation at West Lafayette. Same as VA hospital though--get treated like second class citizen
