GI Bill education benefits transfer

[JustHangingOut]

Also be sure to connect with the state VA where you live. Some states offer education benefits that are separate from the federal benefits like the GI Bill.

I don’t meant to steal this thread but can I transfer my GI bill to my kids after I transition to the Air Force Reserve? I will hit the six-year mark in July 2019 as an active duty Marine. If all the paperwork moves smoothly, I should be starting UPT early 2020 (yes, inter-service transfer). I understand that UPT still counts as active duty time but I am looking to do the TDART once my seasoning orders is up when I return to my unit. I would love to have the option to transfer my GI bill to my kids. Can I complete the four-year term/obligation in the Air Force Reserve? Thanks!

Yes. First-hand experience. You can also start the commitment on AD and finish it in the Reserves.

Can you elaborate on serving the time in the Reserves?  I transferred mine and it took me 4 months past my UPT ADSC. Do I need to Palace Chase to use that time in the Reserves?  Or can I get out at my active duty commitment and do the rest of the time in the Reserves?

There is no “active duty” service commitment for the GI Bill. Just a service commitment. The Bobs will tell you otherwise.

Yes you would have to PC or PF.
