<snip>He does have a job working at Casey's in Eureka, but it's not the job he wanted.

"I work sometimes 37 hours a week, but not enough to get me the full-time hours,” said Still.

He and his wife still struggle to make ends meet for themselves and their three children. snip

He's proud of his military service, but says if he knew then what things would be like now, he may have made a different choice.

"If I wouldn't have joined the military, I would have gone to college. I would have been a teacher, I would have been anything right now,” said Still.

3. One year of college for every year served would do the trick

We HAVE to have the GI Bill back ..with a vengeance. It's even MORE important now, since soldiers are older, and college costs more.
