  • Put on your boxing gloves boys!

    You might have to wait until you are done with your training, but I don’t know for sure.
    I think they pay still. They pay all tuition, but do not pay books and fees. You may also get a stipend of 308 and if you did well enough on your ASVAB, you may get a GI kicker (my sis did) of an extra 200/ month.
    Hope that helps.

    Yes, after you get your 5 level,
    You can go to the base educational office, they will evaluate your credits and tell you the proper way to start taking class’s,
    Whether on base, at a local college or online.
    You have to go thru the educational office to have the Air Force pay for the class’s.
    You have to pass the class’s for the Air Force to pay for them.
    The Air Force will pay 100% of the class’s tution cost, while yoy are on active duty.

    Yes, you should have time. It depends on your AFSC and what your schedule is like. You will have a VA benefit while active duty (tuition reimbursement). All of my bosses were supportive of school and you were permitted to work on course work when the mission was completed.

    Once you finish your upgrade training and OJT, you will be encouraged to take courses. There is 100% tuition assistance through the education center on base.
