Seriously take a look at applying for whatever grants you can get. I just applied for a Pell Grant and received $3500 toward my schooling. I am currently using TA, but it only pays for 6 classes/year at current rates. With the Pell Grant, I can take a couple more if I want to. Once you know the school and program, I would apply for sure. I'm an E-7 and received $3500, if you are an E-2 or 3 (guessing because of the 5-skill level upgrade training), then you could possibly qualify for more. Hey, any free money is worth it!
