If you are currently serving in the military today, you are a great American. We as civilians greatly appreciate the service you are doing to our country. Keep in mind, that while serving in the military, there are great benefits to be had. Sir Bacon once said "Knowledge is power". As a acting military serviceman you are eligible for college tuition to be paid in full. Ask any average civilian the most stressful thing about college and they will probably tell you it's the tuition. College is expensive!

According to Military.com TA or Military Armed Forces Tuition is a service the government grants in order to help members of the Army, Navy, Air Force get the funds necessary to pay the entire tuition to certain colleges. You must take these classes during off-duty hours.

It depends on what branch of military you are currently serving, but if you qualify the government will directly pay the college %100 tuition in your name. Keep in mind that the military will pay you to attend college. The money that pays your tuition shouldn't be looked at as a loan but more as service you are doing to your country.
