Profile For Dionysios D.

Thanks for the post. I am also a veteran going to a private school on my GI bill (on my 3rd week now). How many weeks does your school last? Best of luck to you and hope to hear more updates.

I just finished a private truck school in Florida using my G.I. Bill (chapter 33 i.e. post-9/11) and have a great job lined up with a big company driving over the road. I continued with my night shift job during school because I needed the money so badly. I received BAH payments from the VA in addition to my salary which relieved the money problem which was replaced with sleep. I was able to manage all that and other things. Unfortunately, myself and and another guy were persistently bullied by a couple of young guys in the class over several weeks. We both graduated and the school has great experienced instructors, but I feel that the excessive bullying tended to damper our performance. I'm glad to put that bull in the past. In one week, I am scheduled to begin orientation in the flatbed division with a large company that has a veterans honors program that let's me receive GI Bill payments from the VA in addition to my company salary. The head instructor indicated that I had the best job lined up out of anyone in the class.

I received an employability rating from the school of 80%. Does anyone know how companies view employability ratings?
