i don't divulge much personal information very often but great news finally hit my mailbox and i must tell...long story short, i've been fighting the veterans administration on multiple fronts for the past three years. one of the more reasonable fights was to get them to cough up the mgi bill and send me back to school so i can finish my mba in marketing. i had three appeals and finally received confirmation in the mail today that they've approved funding...yay mba!
