5.0 out of 5 stars Treasure-trove, December 16, 2005
By R. E. Rodriguez (Honolulu, HI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
From the first to the last chapter, I was surprised at how easy this book was to read. The information was 'broken-down' from the usual bureaucratic jargon, to clear and understandable English, making it extremely user-friendly. As I studied through the military benefits that were outlined and then explained, I was amazed at the massive wealth of information and resources contained within the covers. To top it all off, the author provides margin notes throughout with 'Take Advantage' hints and contact information of key agencies and offices, which in itself helps cut down the red tape. This is a MUST HAVE for anyone who is now in the military or is a veteran. Dare I say, this is the closest thing to a 'Military Benefits Bible' that I've ever seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing resource, December 10, 2005
By Ed "A veteran" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
Chris Michel really does "cut the red tape" in this handy book. Make no mistake: This information is not available as understandably anywhere else. Why do the detective work when Mr. Michel has done it for you? I just got the book a few days ago and I've already uncovered some benefits I never knew about.

This book is a "must read" for active duty members and veterans. Unsure what to get that military friend for Christmas or a birthday? This book would make a thoughtful gift.

Thanks to Chris Michel for creating an amazing resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why wasn't there one of these when I was active duty?!, November 20, 2005
I was lucky enough to get an early copy of the book. It makes sense all of the complexity of military benefits in a way I've never seen done before. I can go right to sections that break it down so I can understand it easily. The side tips are especially helpful call-outs. Surprised at how many benefits are out there for the military. The VA loan and medical benefits sections are a must read. I'm buying a copy for my relatives who've served for sure!
