Has anyone ETSd from Fort Hood recently? How was the process? How was the Soldier for Life classes they have to offer?

I'm still in but I have helped a few ETS from hood. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the program they offer like the internship or certification programs, had a soldier do an archeology internship in Hood, but there is stuff for commo, vehicle repair, and dozens of other programs. It's even got the push from higher leadership to take part in this stuff. Also get situated with college with their help at the Ed center if possible.

What I can tell you is, when it comes to the VA and your ETS physical. Don't just blow it off. Take the time to make sure you process in the system. You may not suffer now but years from now something will come up. Usually by then records are lost. Don't skip the process.

Take advantage of everything they offer and start as early as possible. They do have dozens of internships, that you can take advantage of. Also, there’s a “Access Higher Education” 2-day workshop, where they will break down anything and everything you need to know about your school benefits, application process, etc.
