Oh, thanks for that. I'll keep that in mind! Recruiter says my FINSEL is drafted and awaiting final signature from the program manager, so I'm really just super excited to get my date!
Well, I'm obviously not going to spend it all. The intent was to buy what I needed for OCS and pay off all my high interest debt that will not defer while I am gone, so that my boyfriend has ease of payment while I'm away. Right now the number of things we make payments on is a lot and spread out through various companies like USAA and NFCU, I wanted to consolidate for my own peace of mind and for his sake to manage on-time payments. I am usually the financier of our lives and now he has to assume that role. I'm sure he can manage with trial and error, but I'd rather guarantee success if I can. Then I planned to set the rest aside in savings until I graduate and can take the time to study on worthwhile investments. I'm not sure why you'd think someone would need a multi-thousand dollar loan exclusively for only OCS particulars?
