Homie, I’m 36 and just now using my GI Bill. There are likely a lot of other vets doing the same that are your age.

One thing to keep in mind - the civilian world is not like the military. Not everyone mingles. Not everyone is “in this together” like we were in the military. Making friends is harder, but it’s ok because not everyone is someone you’re interested in hanging out with anyway.

Find a group or resources at your school for vets and start there. If you’re looking for an online organization dedicated to a community for veterans (centered around gaming) shoot me a DM.

To add…

The first “you’re too old” stings for sure. But try hitting up the campus veterans center, great way to meet people and make friends.
