Company Sponsored Vs. Private CDL Schools

I was going to correct your spelling of rarified but it is, indeed, a variant of rarefied. :-) You cannot be orthographically faulted.

I only use grandiloquent language when I write, not when interacting socially. I also work part-time as a freelance writer and editor. Math is not exactly my forte, but I use it when I have to. I guess your number as a math teacher was up and you are counting your blessings every day that your opportunities have multiplied . :-)

As a vet myself i would say have him go to a private school he can use his GI bill to pay for the school and they will also pay him a prorated amount of BAH while he is in school so he can still get some cash flow while he is training. He can email me at pv2garver@gmail.com or can get ahold of me on here if he has any questions and I'll help him with any info I can and from one vet to another tell him I said thank you for his service.

Thanks Justin. I will forward your email to him. He's been in for 12 years and deployed 3 times. It's time for something new and safer. I can imagine navigating the civilian world can be daunting so having a fellow vet to talk with will be more than helpful. And thank you for your service as well.

Hey Elaine, he can use his GI Bill for school and it will actually give him a little extra spending cash. If he goes that route, he can get tuition reimbursement from the company he signs on with of they offer it and he winds up even more ahead of the game financially. My best friend just retired from the Air Force and signed on with Schneider doing what I just described. Also, not sure of his MOS but if he already has military driving experience, he can also grandfather in his license. He still has to pass a DOT physical and take the written test but will not have to do skills.

Thanks for all the great information. There is a Roadmasters school here in Tulsa. Is that a fairly good school? I've read comments both criticizing it and praising it.

CDL school is all what you make of it. You can apply yourself and learn what you need to learn or be like the complainers who want their hand held. With your son's military discipline, I'm sure he'll do just fine. Btw, tell him thank you from a Wing Nut Air Force Vet.

As a former Infantrymen and having completed 2 deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan it is fairly rough to navigate the civilian world, it's somewhat of a culture shock in a manner of speaking but it gets much easier. I'm sure your son will excel in every way possible. Like I said before if he needs advice or someone to talk to he can contact me anytime vets have it rough today so we have to stick with each other.
