Ok, so the VA education department is late in paying my college tuition under the GI Bill, also my housing allowance hasn't come in yet. Fine. At least I can register for next semester. Ah ah ah! There's a hold on my enrollment since the tuition hasn't been paid. So I call the VA, talk to a case manager, she pulls up my file.
Case manager: ok sir I'm showing that we processed payment for this term.
Me: this year?
CM: yes sir, this year.
Me: 2011?
CM: ... um. (Long pause). Oh two thousand eleven
Me: (silently boiling with rage)
CM: no sir, there hasn't been payment transmitted yet.
The sad thing is that this is not unusual with the VA education department. No one knows anything and no one can fix anything. The system is full of retards. Now, the VA Medical dept actually runs fairly smoothly at this point. Of course it does, or people would ****ing die.
