And it was a hell of a motorcycle ride from my house. Turns out I need a softer seat for that ride.
Anyway, I went for the initial meeting with my counselor, who seemed nice enough, but was easily distracted. I had to go in without a plan, which I know, is HIGHLY discouraged, but I didn't know what it is that I wanted to do. I never had to think about something like that prior to this program. Before and after my time in the Marines, all I knew was manual labor and an education seemed like something that just wasn't for me. Now with my conditions, it made it even more difficult to find out not only what I wanted to do, but what my conditions allowed me to do. So I really needed some guidance just in that facet alone.
We did the skills/interests evaluation which helped me out alot, but now I have to put together this education plan. Needless to say, I am quite lost on this. So far, these past two days have been filled with research of all of the jobs that I have the aptitude for and I have narrowed it down to three areas: Accountancy (apparently I am good at financial details), Business Administration (Another result that surprised me) and Computer Science (I love tech!) Are there any I.T., accountancy, or business admin professionals out there who can nudge me in the right direction as far as getting this step going? Simple information like: education requirements, job skills, salary, etc. Or at least some experience in how to properly fill out the education plan, and what to plan for should any problems arise.
Thanks in advance everyone, I appreciate everyone's posts. They keep me up and learning.... and entertained sometimes.

Also, I know that I am eligible for 80% of the Post 9/11 GI Bill and the BAH allowance, will that still apply if I am using Chap 31? Or will it cover 100% of the tuition/fees and BAH?

NavyWife, Gave great advice bud. Due to your disabilities, try to use your mind this go around and not your body. My Father has been working construction for 35 years and it kills me to watch him
