S.A.M. & GI Bill

I requested info from S.A.M. last year after speaking with a veteran marine/ counsler for S.A.M. at lenmars world finals. Well today a yr later like he promised he has pulled enough strings and has gotten the school gi bill approved.

Jeffery,

We do accept the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Our classes are 4 1/2 hours a day Monday - Friday. You will want to take them Individually to get the most benefit out of your GI Bill so that will put you taking the Short block course first which is from 8 AM to 12:30 PM for 9 months. After that would be the Head course, and it is from 1:30 PM to 6 PM. If you choose to take CNC, it could either be in the AM or PM depending on which course is offered at the time you sign up. If you have any other questions feel free to call.

TJ Akins School of Automotive Machinists 713-683-3817

I am hoping after my two surgeries later this yr I hope to attempt to go thru with this. No telling how my back and foot will hold up with long hours and stuff but infeel this is a chance in a life time. Does anyone have any advice about the school or using the gi bill please fill me in...

Thanks ahead of time,
jeffrey

Id learn as much manuelas I could to. I ran nothing but cnc for a couple of years then got hired on with the government and run nothing but manuels. Best to get rounded in all aspects of it.

Get in there and take it ASAP, the GI Bill has a time limit and once you're past it it's just tough luck. Get all the business administration school you can stand to take, too, unless you don't plan on ever being your own boss.

If they have a CNC program, take it, the world revolves around automated machinery today. Working for Bell Helicopter 99% of our machinery is CNC and we prefer to hire ex-military there if they don't have any past felonies against them.
