 They also had a plan where you went on on the job training and
 got VA benefits. Before I took this job I had two other offers.
 One paid less, but they were willing to set up the OJT and let
 me get VA benefits. After a while I asked when they were going
 to set up the program, and my boss told me they decided it was
 too much paperwork.

 I called the company I work for now, and asked if the job was
 still available. Seems they were hiring a full crew and needed
 another one, so I took the job. Used the VA for college.
