money to go to school.

[Petterle]

i was told by the rsp cadre that ifyou attend school the guard will pay you to go. like 360 a month/4500 a year or something? i dont remember exactly because i hate school but i need the money and 360 a month would be awesome.

MGIB is what pays you to attend school. This is something you will see in your contract. The $4500 a year thing you are thinking of is the FTA (Federal Tuition Assistance) and is paid directly to the school IIRC to cover tuition.

You mean you signed an enlistment contract without reading it? Here is one for Moms Mistake. Hua!:D.

If you finished IET you should be eligible for MGIB and FTA.
