Any Army people out there can help with this question?

I know I can contact a recruiter, but I don%26#039;t want to get hassled, and I want an honest answer.



I am former Army, still in the IRR. Will the Army pay for college, which I attend first, then I repay my obligation to them after I graduate?



Is this possible?, and if so, can I be called up during school in the event of an IRR call-up?



FYI, I didn%26#039;t elect the GI Bill, I got my previous school loans paid off. I have an associates degree.

Prior Army,myself are you saying you did active duty before you went IRR,and if so yes!the government will pay for you to go back to school, but according to you did not pay into the Montgomery G.I.bill that one for two dollar bit but that does not mean that the government won%26#039;t pay for your continued education.



There is a site on line called (Military.Com) for all of us military past and present go to it I believe it will answer all of your questions.



My friend you no as well as I do you can be called up even if your attending school and you will have to go and once you come back you%26#039;ll be able to pick up were you left off but I hope it does not come to that.



Once again check with MILITARY.COM.and join it,it is free and it is a good sight for all of us veterans,good luck my friend a fellow veteran.

As far as the hassling is concerned, sorry, but it is inevitable. However, simply out hassle them: always get the last word, and make sure your message is loud and clear. The Army can pay for college, but they don%26#039;t like to, so just read every thing twice before you dot the i%26#039;s and cross the t%26#039;s. As far as being pulled up is concerned, that%26#039;s a risk you take in time of war.

Dear Red Sox 7,



Contact your local Veterans Affairs office. They can direct you to the person or website regarding your question. If they cant help your local VA Hospital is another great place to start.



Good luck on the IRR issue, that depends on the War Status at the time. Here%26#039;s a cavat though, the IRR hasnt been called up while it%26#039;s been in it%26#039;s exsistance, so you can feel pretty safe about not being recalled to active reserve status.



Hope I helped

Only through an ROTC Scholarship.



Sorry



They have their own recruiters on the college campus and don%26#039;t %26quot;hassle%26quot; people, as obviously you want to be there.

Well you could apply for an ROTC scholarship. What you should have done was apply for the green to gold program while you were still on active duty. They would have sent you to college, paid for your school, and you would have still gotten paid a salary too. I don%26#039;t know if they let prior active duty guys apply, I doubt it, but it wouldn%26#039;t hurt to ask a recruiter. I wouldn%26#039;t worry about being hassled by a recruiter, you%26#039;ve actually been in the army so he won%26#039;t be able to bs you or anything.
