U of U here I come

Well over the course of the last few months I have been preparing for my transition out of the military and back to civilian life. Haven't really seen a reason to blog about any of that stuff but there is some more stuff to do with my college now. I have applied to the University of Utah and most of my transcripts have been received. This is good as that means that I'm that much closer to being accepted for the spring 2010 semester. Along with this has also come some additional information that is going to help me to get through school. That is that the state of Utah offers tuition wavier to persons that have been awarded the Purple Heart. This is not an award that I ever wanted but I'm very glad that I have received because of some of the benefits that I receive because of it. With out the need to pay tuition I'll be using the Montgomery GI Bill which will pay me a monthly amount based on the amount of school that I'm doing. This will make it that much easier to off set all of the other costs that come with going to school and might even make it so that I'm able to make money off of the deal. Best of luck to me and hope that things do go well.
