National Guard school benefits?? Not happy with the outcome!!
My son is in the National Guard and at the time of signing up he was offered a lot of good stuff. He even received a symbolic check for $40,000 for school. Then when he decided to go to school, reality and true colors came out. He did not qualified for G.I. bill post 911 after he was told that he would. Now he only qualifies for for Montgomery G.I Bill. I don't consider this fair, the recruiters pushed so much for him to sign in and me to sign papers. This is the way he was paid, I'm not happy for turning over my son to the military and they pay him this way. Not fair at all!! Has any body else been thru this situation? Please let me know. Thank you!!

Post-9/11 GI Bill, Chapter 33
For Soldiers with at least 90 days of Active Duty service on or after September 11, 2001, the Post-9/11 GI Bill can cover up to 100 percent of your tuition, depending on the length of time you’ve served. You may also be eligible for a housing allowance and a stipend for books and supplies, and your benefits may be transferable to your dependents.
He wouldn't get the Post 9/11 GI Bill unless he did enough qualifing AD service... http://www.gibill.va.gov/documents/pamphlets/ch33_pamphlet.pdf

Sorry to the CG ladies, but I couldn't resist.

Maybe he should have joined the military and not the CG. And, maybe you should let your son handle his own business.

Lol.... well she is referring to her child as an offering to the military. So I don't know how much backup planning or researching was actually done.
Quoting 4ever-SJ:
And, maybe she should stfu that he doesn't have 80k in student loans even after receiving scholarships.
