In Summary North Carolina and the Military

As a percentage of its total popula#on, North Carolina has the highest percentage of the total ac#ve duty military, Na#onal Guard, and Reserve personnel. (DoD, 2010) One out of ten people in North Carolina is in ac#ve duty, Na#onal Guard, Reserve or Veteran status. (DoD, 2010) Half of all ac#ve duty military is sta#oned in ve states and North Carolina is number three in total popula#on. (DoD, 2010) North Carolinas military popula#on is growing. (NC Commerce, 2008) Na#onally, 225,000 leave military service each year and 70% ul#mately use GI Bill benets. (Source: AASCU, 2010)

In Response to the Call for SuggesCons for Improvement

I have no idea what, if any, services and benets are available to me beyond the GI Bill. At best I get sent to ROTC, who is unfamiliar with anything not directly related to their program. It seems like no one cares, and that my experience as a veteran has no real value in this community. Student veterans are not well recognized on our campus for the talents and skills they possess. Even when a veteran iden,es themselves (sic) with military experience and/or VA benets, they are treated as a tradi,onal student out of high school.

Veteran income is higher than non-Veteran income.
(Black males 10% higher, Black females - 20% higher, and White females 9% higher)

Re#red military personnel and veterans, given their airac#ve skill sets, are desired employees for our states industries and own a signicant number of small businesses. (NC Dept. of Commerce, 2008) Between 2004 and 2007, North Carolina experienced strong economic growth. A signicant por#on of the states growth can be aiributed to the military. (NC Dept. of Commerce, 2008) In 2013, military growth is expected to increase North Carolinas Gross Domes#c Product by $2.9 billion. (NC Dept. of Commerce, 2008) 49,000 addi#onal jobs will exist in 2013 as a result of increased military ac#vity. (NC Dept. of Commerce, 2008)

My CAA: A Case Study for Demand

Spouse Educa#on Program: $6000 over two years In one year 133,000 spouses of ac#ve duty and ac#vated Na#onal Guardsmen applied for the program. Over 98,000 enrolled. The DoD only budgeted for $66,000,000 for the program. If 98,000 spouses are enrolled in classes with a maximum payout of $6000 each, the program has commiied to $588,000,000. The DoD shut down the program and released it with new rules and reduced benets to a smaller base of spouses to rein in cost. No longer available to four year ins#tu#ons.

Post 9/11 Educa#on Benets

In 2007-8, just 47 percent of those eligible to receive veterans educa#on benets at four-year public colleges did so. Data from the Department of Veterans Aairs show that for- prot and community colleges con#nue to dominate the list of the top ins#tu#ons where veterans use their educa#on benets. A total of 270,666 students used the new benets in 2009-10. Veterans and college ocials say cost, convenience, geography, and support systems were signicant factors in veterans' college decisions. (AASCU) Current data reects that approximately 6,000 Marines have been approved to transfer their benets to a dependent.
