   Is their anyone continuing to have any curiosity about the G.I. Bill? Man… I remember when we used to hear of it everyday, again, that was long ago… things have changed a bit.. today it seems that you don’t even hear it said on the radio like it was formerly. Is it forgotten for now, and not viewed as an motivator to join the armed service?

   Does any one still have desire for the G.I. Bill? I could recall a time when we seemed to hear of it quite frequently, its crazy now things have changed.. now evidently you never even hear it promoted on the air like it was. Is it disregarded as a incentive option, and not searched as an incentive to sign up for the military services?
