Music
I like just about all Music. I like some wrap but I can't stand anything that is too "Hardcore". Some Country is good for me too but some of it is too "Hee-Haw" for me. I am a huge Fan of Classic Rock, but I like current rock as well. I love the Beastie Boyz,

Thanks, Willie! I even went to the gym to use the treadmill for walking and use the free weights. Turns out I walked a mile and jogged a mile then used the free weights.
Willie.... How you doing? Hope everything is going well for you! I heard you had to put the smack down a couple of drills ago, good for you. Don't take any shit from those clowns.... Somebody's got to keep the 719th in check, might as well be one of the orignals.
This new benefit will cover the full cost of education at any public school in the country and many private schools. To qualify for the benefits, a veteran has to have served at least 90 days of active duty post-9/11 and have remaining entitlement. Only post-9/11 active duty service counts toward this benefit. Any remaining Chapter 30 or 1607 entitlement can be converted into this new education benefit. There is no requirement to buy in to qualify, and the benefits last for 15 years after separation
This benefit discards the outdated benefits system and replaces it with a WWIIstyle GI bill that provides upfront tuition payments directly to the school, and provides a book/supply stipend of $1,000 per year and a monthly living stipend. The tuition payments can be used at any public or private school but are capped at the cost of the most expensive public school in the state. Click here for a state-by-state breakdown. However, more expensive private schools offering a veterans-only scholarship will see that scholarship matched dollar for dollar up to the full cost of tuition
