HR1540 is a major ripoff for enlisted military who attend college and are trying to better themselves.
Setting politics aside, if you are in the military and taking college courses, there is something major that has just happened that affects your military tuition assistance. The White House and our representatives are reneging on its national promise to pay for the college for enlisted armed services members.
As I can attest, college tuition is the primary inducement for many of us who comprise Americas all-volunteer fighting force.
So here are the details that are unfolding:
According to an email sent out to AFSA members, "Congress has amended the Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (HR 1540) to direct the D.O.D. To reduce the current 100 percent tuition and fees rate by 25 percent. The amendment was offered by Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO).
