JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
Let's face it, the Post 9/11 GI Bill can be pretty confusing, and some find it pretty intimidating. Many service members wonder if they should stick with the Montgomery GI Bill or go with the Post 9/11 bill. Others don't even know which program they are eligible for. Then, once they decide, there's the confusion involved surrounding the process of actually signing up for it and transferring benefits.
If this sounds like you, visit Navy Personnel Command's pages dedicated to the Post 9/11 GI Bill. There is information on who is eligible, how to get enrolled, how to transfer benefits and how to use these benefits for your academic institution. NPC even has a new six part video series on how to accomplish all of this.
So before you visit the VA website, go to http://www.npc.navy.mil/ and click on Career Info, Education, then GI Bill. There you will find FAQs, self-assessment checklists, related NAVADMINs and everything else you will need to become well versed on the Post 9/11 GI Bill.
And of course, please make your Command Career Counselor your first stop in this adventure.
