I've enjoyed my TA so far, but I feel bad for the guys who just joined when TA was part of their consideration for signing an enlistment contract. The Air Force places too much emphasis on education to allow this TA suspension to continue past 30 Sep 13 IMO. I guess we'll see...
I am 15 credits away from my degree so I will end up eating about 3750 of my MGIB benifits--assuming TA is not turned back on.
CLEPs/DANTES are still takeable. No worries there.
I agree. People like you and I will just deal with it and use our GI bill for what it was designed for. This sucks for the guys who transferred their GI Bill to their families and had to extend because of it.
I know CLEP/DSST tests are funded by DANTES, so I am safe to assume that CLEP are still funded right?
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
