So I asked him, “Have you heard about tha G I Bill and its education pravisions?” “Oh, sure. I've heard about it,” wrugged, “but it won't help me.” Well, why not?” I wanted to know “When you're discharged you'll be a veteran and the G I Bill is for Veterans.” “Sure — but I hear a veteran can't count the time he spends in a Navy Ccllege Training Program as time in the service. That is,” he added, “as time towards giving him credit for education under the G T Bill.” Well, I told him I though some- one had passed him some scuttlebutt I pulled the law on him and showed him the wording of Part VIII of “ Title II of the G I Bill. There were two questions he want- ed to get clear. What about the service man who taken an N C T P course, but is discharged before he finishes it because the war ends— can he count the time as credit for education under the G I Bill?
