Thank you! I am no longer interested in moving to Idaho (used to be, now happy with Florida or international travel) and correctional officer would not work for me.

Possibly. In addition to the standard "college courses" that people use the GI bill for, you can use it for OJT/apprenticeship and to attend a trade school. If either of these apply, then the answer is a qualified "yes".
You can go to the VA's WEAMS site and do a search to see if there are existing agreements/approvals in place for the training:
https://inquiry.vba.va.gov/weamspub/buildSearchInstitutionCriteria.do
If it's not there, then that just means you're going have to look harder for a "yes" before assuming it's a "no".
If you are pursuing more of an OJT/apprenticeship, then they have other rules (again, if applicable to your situation).

Thank you! I've been out of school for a couple of years and forgot about WEAMS.
