Does anyone have Series I bonds or any knowledge of them? Every month since I enlisted I've had $50 a month taken out of my pay to buy these bonds. How long do they take to mature, and is there a fee for turning them into cash?
Also I get 10% of my pay put into Thrift Savings Plan. I'm pretty sure there is a penalty having that taken out. Is there? If so, how much?
I'm trying to get my finances on some sort of budget as I'm scheduled to EAS from the Marine Corps in August, and want to attend Commercial Dive school if I do. Not 100% on what I'm giong to do yet, but I like all bases covered.
Is unemployment offered to prior service? I'm not trying to mooch off of the system, but I won't be able to get a job while I'm at dive school for 5 months, but the bill collectors won't give a shit about that.
Any advice is welcomed.
