How I Paid For 2 x Bachelor Degrees/3 Associate Degrees Via The Air Force

 Starting in early 1980, at the 2-year point of service....I signed up and accomplished ten classes in one year....with the AF paying 75-percent of tuition.  

Moving to another base (Louisiana) in summer of 1981....I went on to do 15 courses, with them paying 75-percent of the tuition.

At this same time period, someone sat down and explained CLEP/Dantes tests....so I signed up for one test every two weeks over a 1-year period.  I passed a dozen of these....adding up to something like 40 total SH/credits (roughly one year of college)....free of charge.  The AF paid for the tests.

Finally, transferring to Germany, I signed up for dozen classes over a two-year period.  The AF at this point....decided to up the tuition coverage....90-percent.  

So I went back to the three colleges (one being a community college) and the Air Force Community....getting the credits sorted out.  

Total expenditure on my part?  I would guess with books included?  $7,500.  

The deal today via the Air Force?  Well....$4,500 a year max, and a max of $250 per Semester Hour to be paid out ($750 per class).  Yeah, for a full blown college class, it's six classes a year max.  You would do better only taking community college classes, with their current deal (cheaper rate).  

My Theory of Bizarro

 In the Superman comics (I've a hardcore comics fan)....there is this imaginary world....cube-shaped (not round) called Htrae (you notice, it's Earth spelled backwards).  

On this world, things are run by something called the Bizarro Code....which more or less states it is a crime of some sort do anything clever, ethical, legal, bright, or correct, and you can't conduct affairs in the right fashion.

They invented Bizarro world in 1960 and it was an odd script to bring to comic fans.  Whatever you imagined on real Earth....was opposite in Bizarro world.  

During the Seinfeld TV series.....they did an episode based on this, where Jerry's world was introduced to the Bizarro characters.

Over the past two or three years (since Covid started), I've had this feeling that things now on Earth....no matter if you are talking NFL football, politics, music, love of the classics, religion, or reality....it's running along in a Bizarro fashion.  

Joe Biden, CNN, WaPo, climate people, propaganda, news, social media.....all line up to be Bizarro in some fashion now.

So the question I have....did the alien guys (the ones in the UFOs or UAPs) read up on Bizarro comic legend, and just figure.....lets go fu*k with Earthlings and brain-wash them enough....to make them Bizarro?  That's the only logical explanation I have for the mess present in society.  

Five Things

 1.  DeSantis more or less finished for 2024?  Yeah.  Even if Trump passed on tomorrow.....I doubt that one Republican out of four would vote for DeSantis.

2.  Yeah, stories are starting up in Israel by Americans, who got stranded there after the war started.  Embassy?  No plan, and no leadership.  You would think that some idiot out of DC....would write a 10-page plan, and have State Department folks practice it once a year.

3.  Can kids/juveniles handle TikTok/Meta/Twitter/YouTube?  

I seriously doubt it.  Even if you are 30 years old...I'm of the mind that half the users out there can't  handle it.

4.  White House starting 'safe-space' sessions (listening time) for pro-Arab/pro-Palestine support team? 

Oddly, yeah.  Apparently, they can't handle reality.

5.  FDA says they will review a 'mist' product to prevent Flu.  Yeah, the idea is that you'd be approved (if 18) to buy and administer it yourself.  Pretty radical, if they approve this in the end.
