the military can pay for some of your loans after college if you enlist to be an officer? Or is it true. But not all the truth? Thanks for the info, and input.

Wow. Thanks for the info. Because I was thinking of joining the NAVY after I got an associate degree from college.

If you have a master's degree, especially in nursing, you can come into the army as a Captain, and the Army will pay for all of your college in exchange for a good length of service. If you enlist, you can get signing bonuses, kickers, the GI Bill, and up to 20,000 dollars in student loans paid off with the Student Loan Repayment Program. All of these involve a term of service, and you can expect a deployment or two. I enlisted knowing full well what I was getting into, and there isn't a day that passes that I'm not proud of that fact.

Well, you don't enlist to become an officer. Enlisted people enlist, officers have to get a commission. You can no longer just come in directly as an officer, you have to go through a service academy, or ROTC, or enlist first and then apply for OCS. But the loan repayment appears to be for enlisted soldiers not officers.
The Army College Loan Repayment Program makes paying off your student loans easier.
Up to $65,000 for Soldiers who enlist full time in the Army for three or more years
Up to $20,000 for Soldiers who enlist in the Army Reserve for six years

Just make sure your contract says you'll be getting the college loan repayment, and that your loan applies to this program.
