Now how many organizations are there for purchasing a home . Now we have the va home loan but that is a loan in which you will have to repay 100% plus interest,if only we can use that go bill as a deposit.Should the military make the Gi Bill optional for Education or buy a home?2015-03-19T21:08:19-04:00SPC Negel Mohammed540768<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We all get education benefits , from state ,Va, private Grants and then some of us rely on the Gi Bill.

I know that it doesn't work this way for everyone, however I got out of the Army, went to school on the gi bill, then came back into the service through the Coast Guard. The government definitely received a return on that investment. I would also offer that an education will always make a person better, where a down payment on a house could go either way.Response by LCDR Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 19 at 2015 9:13 PM2015-03-19T21:13:24-04:002015-03-19T21:13:24-04:002015-03-19T21:08:19-04:00
