Well I guess the issue of LRP is over. I got an email from USAREC recruiter and this is what he said:

"By doing further research into the Loan Repayment Program I found a little line that states that "Days of Service" personnel, which is another term for "Glossary Non Prior Service", are not authorized the program. I applogize for any inconvenience I may have caused you by my oversight of the terms used."

However he once again did not tell me which Army Regulation states this. So do I just let it go? As for my bonus, the station commander acts like he does not want to send me back to MEPS to fix my contract he claims that since I am prior service I won't get it until I ship.

Now I have to decide is is worth enlisting with $83,000 of student loans. According to my lender at payments of $372 monthly starting 6/07 my loans would be paid off by 5/2037. I my gosh I'll be 63 years old. My other option is to forget the army go teach at high risk school for 5 years and have all my loans forgiving that way. Here in FL 1st year teachers w/ a 4 year degree start off at 36,500 but of course I'll have other expenses that I would not have in the army. So its decision time.
