Montgomery GI bill??

[urbansheriff]

I'll be going into the usmc reserves (hopefully) after I pass through meps. I was wondering, will the GI Bill cover summer courses if I have enough money left in it?



thanks,

Yes. The MGIB (Montgomery GI Bill) is a great program and well worth the money that you put in to it. It can be used for a variety of education and training programs. Although it takes about a month to a month and a half to get the money rolling once you activate it (start using the benifits), it is very flexible.

Anyone who doesn't put money into the MGIB ought to have their head examined.

Thanks. My recruiter said something about me not even having to put money in because of something... I'm not exactly sure why. It might be because I'm doing PLC the summer of 2007. I don't know what he meant by this, but isn't it like $100/month otherwise?

Yeah, $100 a month for 12 months. Ignore what your recruiter told you and call the education office on the nearest base and get the FACTS. If he dupes you and you sign away the GI Bill, you won't be able to sign up later. Once you turn it down, its gone.

So you can use the Mon GI BIll if you're in the USMCR?
