please help,need info from truck drivers

[mesheldon1228]

I am recently returning from the army and back from Iraq so now i need a career change. I want to obtain my CDL and i am about to go to school but i needed financial assistance.The county i live in will pay for it but there are a few things i need to accomplish on my end.I need to ask actual drivers in this field a series of questions so the county knows that this is the career i want before they pay for school for me. It is only about 12 questions and i do have to ask for a name as well but i promise i am only using the name for the market research. If you are interested in helping me out let me say up front thank you and i appreciate it very much. You can send me an e-mail @ mesheldon1228@yahoo.com and i will e-mail you the questions. I only have to ask 4 people. once again thanks in advance

One question, why would you need financial assistance from your county when the G.I. Bill is available to you? You new soldiers get up to $50,000, of course, depending on how long you served.

You have to actually sign up for the GI bill and they take $100 out of every check for a month. I wanted the army to be a career for me at the time and declined it but the beautiful country of Iraq gave me second thoughts on the army career. Everyone thinks that the gi bill is free for all soldiers but that's not the case. nothing is free in the military

You probably already know this, but that was a bad move. I'm a veteran myself, so I know what you have to pay for the GI Bill - $100 per month for 12 months. It was a small price to pay for the amount of educational benefits that you get in return. Good luck on getting the help you need.

It would probably help if you could provide the information of the county officials that need the information. Speaking for myself, I'm a little skeptical of providing information about myself (even if it is just my name) in this day and age.

Don't you know any truckers in the town you live in?
Or friends,and relatives that are truckers,or know truckers?

How about the trucking school you are thinking of going to.
Most of those schools have trucking company recruters willing to hire new drivers.
All of these sources on a local level should be good enough to find as few as 4 who are willing to give you what you need face to face.

Welcome home,thanks for serving our coutry in this time of unrest.
I'm not going to give you my name,but I'm saying a prayer for you to get what you need,to become what you'd like to do with the rest of your life.
Heres my prayer.
"Have fun,be safe,and may the Lord direct your path it works for me,Apostolic"

This seems like a very odd Thread. Something sounds fishy! Why would you need a name from someone that you asked questions from? And what does a county have to do with giving a federal soldier money to go to school?
