My plan for clarrification:
1. November-January Use TA for 2 courses.(max allowed per semester) and MGIB for 1 course.
2. Febuary-June Use TA for 2 courses, and MGIB for 1 course.
3. July-October-Use TA for 2 courses, and MGIB for 1 course.
And so on.
To complte a total of 3 courses each semester(non-traditional...including summer semester) then a payment of 1,080 each month from MGIB.
Totaling 12,960. Then paying for only 3 of the courses, which is about 2500. Then use the rest for other things like clep and materials and such things.
I do not plan to pocket much of the money I will be using it towards my education in one way or another. I am trying to figure out if this is feasiable but no one can anwser me. I call VA they tell me to e-mail active duty rep. I e-mail him, he tells me that he cannot help me. I contact my consuler at Lejeune who tells me to contact the VA. Then I ask Excelsior and they tell me that I need to just start my courses. I cannot start my courses cause I have used all my TA and I dont have the money to do so. I cannot go talk to anyone cause I am in Afghanistan and they do not have any representatives here. I am in quite a pickle.
Hope that cleared up the confusion. ...I just want to get my edumacation
