Yeah…I can see that it would. The vacuum cleaner scene from the Pink Panther Strikes Again is one of the funniest things on the silver screen.

I never watched the TV series Firefly so I didn’t know this was a sequel of sorts.
Enjoyed it and it actually held up well on its own.

Yeah, unfortunately the movie is 10x better as an ending to the series if you’ve seen it. It didn’t get one, only 14 eps (not all of which aired) and then canceled until they got the movie 3 years later to solve many, but not all, of the dangling plot threads.
While there was hope for a long time we’d get something more it never happened and the cast scattered to other things.

Nathan Fillion went on to become a Mystery Fiction writer, before he became a rookie on the LAPD…whoa…I really need to start separating the real world vs TV Land.

And Wash, or maybe an ancestor of his, because a programmed “doll” who later was a serial killer. And in a galaxy far, far away his consciousness was imported into an Imperial assassin droid.
Oh, and he and his best friend had their newly-purchased vacation home destroyed by some college kids who were out in the forest on some strange suicide pact.

“…and we can’t even send our kids to college!”
Bravo Sierra!
What did they do with their GI Bills? I sent my daughter through college and a Master’s program on my GI Bill…and she got aid a stipend of ½ E5 pay while she was attending classes.
I would have helped with my son’s college except the Army decided to pay his way–ROTC full ride–which is also something they could have looked into.
Plus there are all kinds of scholarships provided by everything from Spouses Clubs (my wife has worked on these several times) to the military’s professional organizations (Naval Intelligence Professionals (NIP) provides some every year). I hate it when Hollywood portrays the military as uncaring towards vets. We are not.

Gets wasted most of the time. However, sometimes the rules just don’t work out and navigating the bureaucracy is difficult if you don’t know the right people.
While I agree it gets wasted a lot of the time, that is really my point. These programs are out there and despite being a lot of paperwork, are much less dangerous than ripping off a Colombian drug lord…albeit, probably not as much fun. 
Admittedly, the bureaucracy was a real pain, but it was no different much of the red tape I had dealt with. The rules are the rules. My daughter had to get right into a master’s program after her undergrad degree or she would have lost eligibility…and other things like that which we had to navigate.
I must respectfully disagree on one point. I sure as heck didn’t know any of the right people, yet it was not too difficult to get done.
Well for the record, I had to pay my last two semesters of undergrad out of pocket, because engineering, and transferring schools, and I’m still fighting with the VA on Voc. Rehab for my master’s program (as in, I’m not getting any responses from their coordinator down at Bragg). And there’s been loads of issues we’ve been fighting with in the Student Veterans community related to GI Bill, Blue Ribbon (for programs that cost more than the VA will cover), pay getting sent in a timely manner, reimbursements for books, etc. Heck, I once went 6 months without getting any of the stipend that was due, and it took me visiting my Representative’s office to get that sorted. So yeah, it’s slightly plausible.
Anyway, on an unrelated note, a friend of mine posted a pic on her facebook of her and her husband in front of the house at W. Laurel and Union Street in Golden Hill, where this scene was shot:
Which then of course reminded me of this, you know, in the spirit of getting ready for Wednesday:

However neither you nor @Franze conducted a command raid to cover your out-of-pocket expenses… as far as I know… don’t tell me if you did…plausible deniability and all that. 
Full disclosure, my wife was the one who did all the work and she is way better at it than I so…both of your points are well taken. 
Yeah…that whole scene where he is on his motorcycle speeding away…supposedly starts at NAS Miramar but somehow they end up at NTC Dan Diego…some type of space-time anomaly I suspect.

And then somehow they’re magically teleported up to Oceanside pretty much immediately.
