Looks like it is time to start bringing together the loose ends in my civilian life...
Haven't a clue where I heard it, but I was pretty sure that while at Basic/OCS, your student loans can be deferred...speaking with my loan servicer, they said that Key Bank (these are private, not federal loans) is one of those few that will not defer for military training. This is pretty serious, as pay in OCS doesn't come remotely close to covering all my bills with the $1450/mo student loan payment (and I still have the cellphone under contract, a car payment, insurance, etc...).
Don't know how to get around this, because as it stands now, leaving my current gig for OCS is literally going to bankrupt me and destroy my credit, and I can't speak with my OSO until they're back from leave in a week or so.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
