First post here, sorry if its kinda long. Im currently a active army SGT(P) deployed to Afghanistan. My ETS is SEP08. I am considering joining the guard in my home state of NY when I get out. My primary goal is to go to college and get my degree upon ETS. I am married and served in Iraq and now afghanistan and I would like to get my degree without a deployment interfereing. I saw mentioned a new program that allows you to go to college for up to 2 years with out deploying while still serving in the guard. I cant seem to find any info on this program though. Plus I believe that NY pays 100% tuition is this correct? And can my G.I.Bill be used in conjunction with it? I am married and the left over cash will be needed. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
