Can i both go to college and army at the same time?
Find answers to your legal question.

I want to be an active army in the morning and want to go to college at night.. For the financial aid, would the army pay for all my tuition? It would be about 69000 dollars and.. what kind of financial aid do i need in this case..? GI bill or Army college fund or Army loan repayment? I am not going to pay a dime for my college tuition and i want to get out of army after i graduate from the college.. then i want to have an internship at a big industry.. Thanks!

The needs of the military come first. You get $4500 a year for college tuition. Going to college while active duty is very hard. You also have to remember you might get deployed.

I suggest you see if the school you are interested in as a ROTC program.

You signed a 8 year contract with the military. You may only serve 4 active but you will have 4 in the IRR and can be recalled.

im reserve but while i was in AIT alot of my sgts were doing college classes online that is how most people do it while on active duty

I was on active duty and had friends on active duty who went to college. They went to the University of Maryland because it is on every base. You won't be able to attend any college you want to because you will have to change duty stations every couple of years.
