Me too. I think having a degree AND military service history is a huge boon to any applicant. For one, military service shows various qualities of character that a degree in alot of ways cannot. Having a degree AND military service (especially if you got the degree while serving full time) shows huge adaptability. I've heard this more than once.

As for the GI Bill- Embry Riddle wants $600 plus per class per three month term online. Since I'm using what's left of my GI Bill money to finance going back to school.. cheaper would be better. Know any good options?

Keep in mind, however, that Riddle gives a bucketload of credits to guys with commercial certificates in hand. That kinda evens it all out. Have any luck in that vein?
