<p>OP is trying to find a way to pay for college. Don’t think OP wants to retire at this point in his thinking process. OP look into the Air National Guard…free tuition/waiver in most states at the state schools…you’re on the hook for 6-9 months ‘full time’ service then you just show up 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks in the summers. You will go through basic & tech school so you can perform a job semi-competently then it’s normal life for the most part.</p>
<p>“Sure, keep thinking that.”</p>
<p>This idiot still can’t figure out a high school sophomore is not thinking about retirement.</p>
<p>“Is he? Try asking him first.”</p>
<p>Notice the title of this thread is “College after military?” Not “Grad school after re-enlistment?”</p>
<p>“Reread my statements.”</p>
<p>No thanks, one dosage of your idiocy is more than enough.</p>
<p>“Tax rates and instructions renewing are two different things.”</p>
<p>Not really, neither is set in stone or THEY WOULDN’T FIND THE NEED TO SET AN EXPIRATION DATE. Regardless, hoping your CO cuts a single year off your active duty contract is hardly doing OP a favor if he dislikes it from Year 1. That’s why I suggested the Reserves as an option where he won’t be stuck in years of active duty in case he doesn’t like it, which you found the misinformed need to “correct.”</p>
<p>“Anybody in the service can tell you right now that depending on your rate/MOS/job/whatever, that the dismissal route is not a remote possibility.”</p>
<p>It’s more remote than going Reserve to Active. Getting out of contracts is more difficult than signing new ones. You have zero experience with the military if you believe otherwise.</p>
<p>“This idiot still can’t figure out a high school sophomore is not thinking about retirement.”</p>
<p>Lol</p>
<p>“Notice the title of this thread is “College after military?” Not “Grad school after re-enlistment?””</p>
<p>Reread statement.</p>
<p>“No thanks, one dosage of your idiocy is more than enough.”</p>

<p>Tax rates change year to year. Instructions that have been historically the same are 99% likely to stay the same unless something drastic happens. If the Gulf War and the “war on terror” didn’t force the change, I doubt the instruction will change. They don’t have an expiration date because it’s the instruction for the year. I’m simply saying it, sure you can apply and you might get the CO to approve it. Chances are, if your job isn’t needed, you’ll get it approved. I never said your reserve option was bad. Like I said… again, all I did was correct your options. Did I say they were bad? Reference me.</p>
<p>“It’s more remote than going Reserve to Active. Getting out of contracts is more difficult than signing new ones. You have zero experience with the military if you believe otherwise.”</p>
<p>Of course getting out of contracts is hard, nine times out of ten there’s going to be some kind of penalty. Everyone should know that. Does not mean I can’t give out the information.</p>
<p>“Lol”</p>
<p>Finally realizing how stupid your statement is, eh?</p>
<p>Not clicking on your links unless it’s to your unfounded claim of a 2 year wait for a Reserve-Active switch.</p>
<p>“I’m simply saying it, sure you can apply and you might get the CO to approve it. Chances are, if your job isn’t needed, you’ll get it approved.”</p>
<p>Might = unlikely. Chances are if the military enlists him with a job they have an opening for, it’s not going to be obsolete 2-3 years later. And if it was, again, 3 years of your life gone is worse than a Reserve option.</p>
<p>“Like I said… again, all I did was correct your options.”</p>
<p>There’s nothing to correct. The Reserves exist.</p>
<p>“Of course getting out of contracts is hard, nine times out of ten there’s going to be some kind of penalty.”</p>
<p>That’s entirely my point which makes your continued lobbying for this option worthless.</p>
<p>I’m glad I was able to clear up your information. I don’t know here you were getting your information, but most of it is false.</p>
<p>“Might = unlikely. Chances are if the military enlists him with a job they have an opening for, it’s not going to be obsolete 2-3 years later. And if it was, again, 3 years of your life gone is worse than a Reserve option.”</p>
<p>Nothing is absolute in this world. Even if he did 3 years and he absolutely hated it. He will take something out of it, impossible not to.</p>
<p>“There’s nothing to correct. The Reserves exist.”</p>
<p>Always have, always will. I will stick with the information I provided earlier and say that our information is branch conflicting. I know my reserves information is correct for my branch, I have no idea what branch you were speaking for.</p>
<p>"That’s entirely my point which makes your continued lobbying for this option worthless.</p>
<p>I’m glad I was able to clear up your information. I don’t know here you were getting your information, but most of it is false."</p>
<p>Did not lobby, ever. Like I said, simply giving out the information. Whether or not OP likes the information given is up to him. Like I said earlier in this post, my information is correct, but I’m pretty sure that each of our branches has different rules.</p>
<p>“Nothing is absolute in this world.”</p>
<p>You just claimed the program for CO walking papers was absolute.</p>
<p>“Even if he did 3 years and he absolutely hated it. He will take something out of it, impossible not to.”</p>
<p>Recommending that as a better alternative to Reserve-Active is idiotic. As idiotic as thinking a high school sophomore is thinking about retirement.</p>
<p>“Like I said earlier in this post, my information is correct, but I’m pretty sure that each of our branches has different rules.”</p>
<p>You originally made a blanket statement that this applied to all branches, which is a lie. You have yet to provide any proof that your “correction” applies to any branch.</p>
<p>“You just claimed the program for CO walking papers was absolute.”</p>
<p>The program is there, never said anything besides that was absolute. :)</p>
<p>“Recommending that as a better alternative to Reserve-Active is idiotic. As idiotic as thinking a high school sophomore is thinking about retirement.”</p>
<p>Didn’t recommend anything.</p>
<p>“You originally made a blanket statement that this applied to all branches, which is a lie. You have yet to provide any proof that your “correction” applies to any branch.”</p>
<p>Your information doesn’t apply to all branches and mine doesn’t as well.</p>
<p>“The program is there, never said anything besides that was absolute.”</p>
<p>Uh, yeah you did. You claimed it was never changing.</p>
<p>“Didn’t recommend anything.”</p>
<p>Uh, yeah you did. Including LDO and retiring from the military before he attends college.</p>
<p>“Your information doesn’t apply to all branches and mine doesn’t as well.”</p>
<p>You claimed your information applied to all branches. Now you claim it only applies to some branches. But you can’t prove it belongs to any branch. You’ve been thoroughly discredited, go hide and save yourself from further embarrassment.</p>
<p>“Uh, yeah you did. You claimed it was never changing.”</p>
<p>Read. I said the program hasn’t changed. Being accepted by your CO for the program is not absolute. </p>
<p>“Uh, yeah you did. Including LDO and retiring from the military before he attends college.”</p>
<p>I never said recommend. I put out the information.</p>
<p>“You claimed your information applied to all branches. Now you claim it only applies to some branches. But you can’t prove it belongs to any branch. You’ve been thoroughly discredited, go hide and save yourself from further embarrassment.”</p>
<p>Where in any of my statements did I say it applied to all branches? The argument I’ve been saying is that it applies to some branches. Read back a little and that’ll be enough proof. I don’t need to prove anything further, you and OP are grown adults and can do the research on your own.</p>
<p>“Read. I said the program hasn’t changed. Being accepted by your CO for the program is not absolute.”</p>
<p>Read. “They don’t expire, they always carry over.” That’s an absolute. You’re just stepping all over yourself correcting yourself.</p>
<p>“I never said recommend. I put out the information.”</p>
<p>Putting out retirement options to a high school sophomore is completely irrelevant. So is recommending a limited officer route that takes longer than a college degree, WHEN THE OP HAS COLLEGE PLANS.</p>
<p>“Where in any of my statements did I say it applied to all branches?”</p>
<p>You’re a boy wonder of alzheimer’s or lobotomy:
“Now if you’re in the reserves, you have to wait a minimum of TWO years in order to APPLY to switch over to active duty.”</p>
<p>Notice no specification of branch? You therefore made a blanket statement that this applied to all branches. In reality, it belongs to no branches.</p>
<p>“I don’t need to prove anything further, you and OP are grown adults and can do the research on your own.”</p>
<p>There’s nothing to research because it doesn’t exist. You’ve been discredited and you can’t provide any proof to your claim. It’s not on me to prove you right.</p>
<p>“Read. “They don’t expire, they always carry over.” That’s an absolute. You’re just stepping all over yourself correcting yourself.”</p>
<p>The absolute argument was towards this statement: “You just claimed the program for CO walking papers was absolute.” Yea, they carry over. Will the CO approve it? That’s completely dependent on the job. Read.</p>
<p>“Putting out retirement options to a high school sophomore is completely irrelevant. So is recommending a limited officer route that takes longer than a college degree, WHEN THE OP HAS COLLEGE PLANS.”</p>
<p>Irrelevant to you, relevant to OP. Putting out the information isn’t something to cry about.</p>
<p>"You’re a boy wonder of alzheimer’s or lobotomy:

<p>I followed up on that post afterwards. Read.</p>
<p>“There’s nothing to research because it doesn’t exist. You’ve been discredited and you can’t provide any proof to your claim. It’s not on me to prove you right.”</p>
<p>You have access to the information just like me, you can’t prove I’m right, however, you can’t prove I’m wrong either. OP and you are grown adults and can prove the information correct or incorrect.</p>
<p>“The absolute argument was towards this statement: “You just claimed the program for CO walking papers was absolute.” Yea, they carry over.”</p>
<p>No, a program that has an expiration date is not absolute. Otherwise they’d find no need to list an expiration date if they didn’t reserve the right to not renew it. Read.</p>
<p>“Irrelevant to you, relevant to OP. Putting out the information isn’t something to cry about.”</p>
<p>Retirement is not relevant to a high school sophomore. His initial question had nothing to do with retirement. Stop projecting your assumptions on OP.</p>
<p>“I followed up on that post afterwards. Read.”</p>
<p>You followed up on your “correction” by correcting yourself? You shouldn’t step into threads claiming you’re Captain Correction if you can’t even get your story straight, then.</p>
<p>“You have access to the information just like me, you can’t prove I’m right, however, you can’t prove I’m wrong either. OP and you are grown adults and can prove the information correct or incorrect.”</p>
<p>There’s no information to be found on your supposed 2 Year Minimum because it doesn’t exist. You’re telling me if there is no supporting evidence for something then it must be true? You obviously never went to college. Don’t know why you’re here dishing out advice then.</p>
<p>“No, a program that has an expiration date is not absolute. Otherwise they’d find no need to list an expiration date if they didn’t reserve the right to not renew it. Read.”</p>
<p>Again, the program has been renewed every year since it’s been around. I don’t make the instructions, some fine figure up above does.</p>
<p>“Retirement is not relevant to a high school sophomore. His initial question had nothing to do with retirement. Stop projecting your assumptions on OP.”</p>
<p>Retirement is one thing to keep in mind with the military. It’s perfectly fine to give out as much information as possible in situations like this.</p>
<p>“You followed up on your “correction” by correcting yourself? You shouldn’t step into threads claiming you’re Captain Correction if you can’t even get your story straight, then.”</p>
<p>I corrected yours and mine. </p>
<p>“There’s no information to be found on your supposed 2 Year Minimum because it doesn’t exist. You’re telling me if there is no supporting evidence for something then it must be true? You obviously never went to college. Don’t know why you’re here dishing out advice then.”</p>
<p>I came here to provide OP with military information. Not here to tell OP what choices to make.</p>
<p>“I corrected yours and mine.”</p>
<p>There was nothing to correct on mine. You made a blanket claim, backtracked, and are now trying to salvage it by saying it just applies to some branches while refusing to provide any evidence of such.</p>
<p>This is like an endless game of Whack-A-Mole. I’m done fisking you, boy.</p>

<p>Same to you. It was nice having this talk. If you ever need anything, my PM is always available :)</p>
<p>The thought that I would ever need anything from you is like Bill Gates needing anything from a bum.</p>
<p>And don’t PM me again begging me to stop embarrassing you publicly.</p>
<p>Cool story bro</p>
<p>I know that this drawn-out conversation happened almost two months ago, but GOD DAMN get a room you two! That was one of the most pathetic exchanges I’ve seen on the Internet in a long time.</p>
