A soldier was killed in a vehicle accident Saturday morning on North Fort Lewis, the post's public affairs office said Sunday.
The name of the soldier isn’t being released because next of kin hasn’t been notified. A Fort Lewis press release said the accident, which happened shortly before 6 a.m., is under investigation.
Military Times has details about the Post-9/11 GI Bill, which will go into effect Aug. 1 and should provide a big boost for service members wishing to go to college (especially in this era of skyrocketing tuition costs).
Any readers out there planning to take advantage of the new benefits? Shoot me an e-mail if so.
