There "was" such a program. I don't know if it still exists though and I'm not able to do a thorough search ATM

Looks like it ended in 2011 http://www.emilitary.org/article.php?aid=15228 by that page but you might want to try the Education version that the link on there takes you too.

Usually the corps provide it to you under a student edition while in service contract, I can confirm they do it in 2 states. What state are you from?

There are other CAD software out there for veterans. I am a veteran and have gotten other software.

This link below will take you to a web site where you can get a copy of the student version for one year

for just 20 dollars. It is not Auto CAD but the CAD software is great. I have used it for two years and its done more then

what I wanted it for. I have even gotten a job working with this software ( not the student version ).

 

Good luck.
