In talking about the governments free education and training pro- gram authorized by the CT Bill of Rights, I mentioned that if you are cut of the service because of a service incurred injury or disability, then the requirement. that you must have had at least ninety days service doesn't hold. Sixty days, 30 days, presumably only enc day of service would be enough to include you in.
 But remember, if you are a dis abled veteran, you would quite like ly be entitled to what is called ''vo- oational rehabilitation This is a separate set-up for disabled veter- ans only; so don't confuse it with the new educational benefits proyid- cd for all eligible ex-service men. The two plans are different. The former, under mos condi- tions, is mora beneficial Like the difference between a girl friend and a wife. One is more liberal
 Public Law 346 (the GI Bib pro- vides for education for all eligible vets and it became law in June, 1944. Public Law 16, providing training for disabled veterans under re- mobilization plan. became effective over a year before--in March. 1g43.
 Now if a disabled veteran is eli gible under the latter law Public 16), he certainly will also be eligible for the educational provisions of the CT Bill And, if eligible under both, he can choose between the two plans according to which one will give him the best shuffle.
 But, for the moment keep in mind that if you are disabled and the dis ability was incurred in the service, you may qualify under Public 16 rehabilitation and most likely you will get greater benefits under that law than under the CT Bill Later I'll give some space to the disabled's rehabilitation program but during the last few articles I've been harping on the Gi Bills edu- cation plan because it will likely in- clude the largest number of ex- service men.
 So whether you're disabled or not, don't let your eyes just whisk- broom ever the next few lines. Because here is the length of time in years that ex-service people can get train ing for their future life work.
 Let's assume you weren't over 25, CT you can show your education was impeded at entrance into the ser vice. Let's further assume you served--sometime after l6 Septem- Der l940-Jhree or more years.
 What are you waiting for? You would qualify for education or training fer one year plus your three years of service. A total of four years. Four years. by the way, is the top limit under the CT Bill.
 But suppose you didn't have three years? You had two years and ninety days service. Then you'd qualify for one year of training plus two years and 90 days. A total of three years, 90 days. It's one year PLUS length of service
 However, if you really wanted a full four years of some kind of training CT even more than that, but only qualified for three years and ninety days, you could accept the free period of training and then. pay for the balance yourself.
 I think there must be plenty of
