I'm getting out of the army in the next 4 months and I'm conflicted on how I'm going to manage my time for the VA. My initial plan was to go straight to college but a buddy of mine that's been out for several years already, told me I should come back home (to my shit hole of a hometown) so I'd be near support if I needed it and so he could help me and guide me through my VA. He also said that if I tried to balance VA and college that I'd be losing so many class hours that I'd just be damning myself in the long run and should take 6-12 months to get my VA situated then leave for college. Thing is, he's not known for making the best decisions and I don't know what he could help me with that he couldn't over the phone. Financially I don't want to move twice in a year also I'm not expecting to get much out of the VA I screwed up my body being in the infantry but idk. Context aside, my question is that is balancing VA and college a bad idea and if it is should I look for jobs that can balance possible weekly VA appointments?

So I might be getting medically discharged from the Army here soon and my plan was to drop a flight warrant packet and get out of the infantry. My backup is to use my GI Bill to pay for flight school though I'm wildly confused on what's recommended and available for me. As far as I'm tracking the post 911 GI Bill will fully cover tuition along with BAH, but only for VA approved schools. This also includes that the schools are 161?

I'm in Texas currently and would prefer to stay local though not opposed to moving for the best opportunity. Veracity is nearby but they have less training. SUU is another option I've seen that includes night training which veracity didn't offer. Is that an important distinction or will I be able to get that cert later through an employer or such. I've also seen a few other people hate on SUU so maybe beat to ignore it? Is 141 the only flight school available to me through the gi bill and the Internet has conflicting information on the ppl being covered. Did I get anything wrong

I'm looking for a range box that'll double as my go to travel case when I'm traveling with firearms. I'm currently looking at the 1615 Air but I was also wondering if there are any other similar cases with internal combination locks. My first pelican case was a 1495 that did have one and worked wonderfully, especially when tsa decided to try and break in to examine my laptop before asking for the combination. Keyword try, only managed to scratch the thing with some sort of pry bar and somehow. Ruin the seal but that's replaceable enough.

Main question, are there other pelican cases with internal combination locks or does someone know how to modify them?
