Navy Policy, Guidelines and Official Statements
This forum covers Bupers & NPC AlNavs and NavAdmins messages that have been released by the Navy regarding policies, guidelines and other official statements. This might be some good read for career minded Sailors who should be aware of official Navy policies. Most posts will come from NPC's AlNavs and NavAdmins as well as the official Navy.mil website but not all information is generated from those sources. As can been seen by the views, many enlisted Sailors visit this area to get caught up on official releases.

While attending college, I could opt for the older, less generous Chapter 32 of the post-Vietnam era veterans’ Montgomery G.I. Bill, or I could take advantage of the newer, more robust Chapter 33 post-9/11 veterans’ G.I. Bill. With college prices much higher than the Vietnam Era, like many others, I chose the latter. But there was a catch: By selecting Chapter 33, I was forced to forfeit the first year of my Chapter 32 benefits. This condition, imposed on millions of veterans, effectively denied us thousands of dollars in educational support. This partly voided the military’s guarantee of free education for military service.
