The Canex at the base I am posted to is being closed down shortly and we are too busy buying a house, etc. to quickly purchase a computer from the Canex on the no interest loan thing. And we can't afford to purchase a computer right now out of pocket.
SISIP emergency loan isn't available to me because I've only been in Reg. force for two weeks now (my reserve time doesn't count apparently) and you need to be in reg. force for 12 months, and have a minimum of 12 months left in your contract. Plus its 4% interest, so even if I did qualify its not a great deal as thats higher than prime for pete's sake.
I have no clue how I am going to purchase a computer before my course starts in mid April. Anyone here have any information on educational loans, etc. for CF members? I don't want to pay more than prime or I'd just go to the bank and get out a personal loan, something I'd rather avoid right now.
Thanks,
DME
