Trying to get VA vocational rehab and get another degree (one I can use) looking into Game Design with Full Sail University.

Was wondering if anyone had any experience with them?

Keep getting emails from SAIC and other companies about a local job here, but don't have all the required skills...

I've heard good things about the program. I almost applied to go there before I joined the Army.

I've looked into fullsail online. Their launchbox program is the shit, but as far as on campus I don't know much. I do know a guy that goes there for music. Says it was the best decision of his life and loves it. But from what I understand they are only accredited in florida...something for you to look into though

I asked about that and they emailed me this...

I applied and have requested Federal Student aid and asked for VA vocational rehab (no word yet) and I am in the process of doing the enrollment paperwork and seeing if my credits from other schools transfer.

In my opinion the VA have many good programs and their student and voc rehab programs are awsome. The only prob. Is it completely depends were you live because here in Las VEGAS the Southern Nevada VA was voted the worst VA system in the country. And as a veteran who has been deamed UNEMPLOYABLE by VA and other psychiatrist doctors yet my disability claim has been under review for 3 years now. So if you live where you have a quality VA systems use it because you are blessed to have a great opportunity thay you have earned

That's awesome!

I just submitted the paperwork to get the rest of my GI Bill. I have about 2 months left of it. Hopefully I hear back from them soon! (Yeah, I know. It's not gonna happen. It's the VA.)
