money question.

ok i know it can pay up to 100% tuition, so that is good for school. I also heard that were going to have to give up one weekend a month and we get paid for it. That money can be used for anything right? if it doesn't, do we get money to help us out for i.e. rent and car payments. :o

What you get paid for drills is your pay, just like your paycheck from work. Take home is yours to do with as you will.

No there is no special assistance for rent or car payments, with the exception of rent/housing if you're on active duty orders.

If you're in school, you get the GI Bill which is also a little extra cash to use for whatever.
