What part of Philly ?

 

The wait for the Post 9/11 GI-Bill didn't take any time to kick in for me.
File the paper work today and in a few weeks you'll have your approval paperwork. Take that to the VA office in your school and you're done.

Start of the semester the money will be running in. One area you do have to be careful is that the payments are prorated. You won't get the full BAH if your classes start anytime after the 1st of the month.

You can use this site to calculate how much you can expect to collect in the area you intend to go to school. http://newgibill.org/calculator/

If you're that close to paying the bike off, I'd keep it. I only have my bike (thanks to Florida's weather) and I save much more money in insurance and gas than I would with a car.

 

A - How practical is it for you to bring your Nightster to where you will be moving?
Also don't forget about parking, insurance, thieft rate.

B- Sell, take your loss and complete college.
Will you need transportation at school or is everything within walking distance?
The Nightster will be a memory and one of the dozens of bikes you may own in your lifetime.

C - Motorbikes are great for a college town.
Can always buy another one.
Can always buy a used Yamaha for Phily.

FWIW. I have seen a television show "Parking Wars". Is that in Phily? Hell, the way that city is I would consider not owning a vehicle.

 

Turn the actual school is in Media, PA but, I've been looking anywhere between South Philly and Wilmington. Since North Wilmington is only about 10miles from the school and Delaware is tax free. I want to try and live as close as I can to the school but, I won't argue with a little bit of a drive if where ever I am living is worth it. Thanks for the site Wahlum.

 

RE-UP!! Stay active in the Army Reserves or National Guard, use your $600/month drill check to pay for your bike and more mods...

 

Oh good lord WDHGS I'm trying to avoid the Army after I get done here 6 1/2 years of this is enough for me.

 

I would agree with you if he was not planning on college. I've seen too many reservists being deployed throughout the past few years and it would be extremely counterproductive to working a degree.

6 1/2 years? You'll still have 1 1/2 years on the inactive reserve roster. Hope they don't call that one in!!

 

I know Wahlum I seriously hope they don't.

 

you need to manipulate a heavy DITY move for your final ETS move. Keep the bike

 

My problem right now is all of my stuff is outside of Seattle at my dads house, I'm in Germany and I'm going to school in PA.
