Looking for ret. CAF who are collecting the VAC education benefit.
Hello!
I left the infantry to move back to my hometown awhile ago to be with family/ do school, which I've always wanted to do. As I released I realized that I had to chose between collecting our shitty GI bill or joining the reserves. I somehow rationalized joining the reserves instead of collecting the benefit, but school is super expensive. I think I might just legit love the army, but I'm not interested in ever doing it full-time again and I love my new unit.
When you think about it, it's a bit silly to have a program who's goal is to encourage retention that actively discourages considering the reserves on release.
The MLA for the VAC happen to be my local MLA, so I'm looking for people who:
A) Are in the same boat as me, having to leave the PRES in order to collect VAC Training and Education benefit
B) Was interested in the reserves on release, but instead chose to collect the benefit because that's what made sense.
C) Class B Reservists who are eligible for the benefit but unable to collect because of the current eligibility requirements.
With the army in the news RN, I think I might have a chance if enough people are willing to share their stories.. I've been hesitant to do or say anything but then I remembered: I'm a fucking reservist, can't task me to wainwright this time.
Shoot me a dm.
Thanks for reading!
