DEA eligibility?

Question:

Jim, I am 100% permanent and total. I want to take some computer classes. Am i eligible for the DEA? I was under the old veap program. I am not eligible for any GI bills. I retired 2006 from the navy reserves.

DEA is a dependents benefit. I doubt you'll find any VA benefit to pay for computer classes. Interestingly enough though...you can find a ton of free instruction about everything from building web sites to building your own computer by using the Google search engine. Some universities even allow you to audit their on-line classes at no charge. In fact...that's how I learned to build web sites and publish to the Internet. I researched by searching for what I wanted to learn and then followed the instructions. Go for it!
