This all sounds really unfair. My husband was active army for 8 years. He would have made it past 10 years if they hadn’t medically/honorably chaptered him out because of his problems with his ears. He was Chaptered out September 2006, and he was thinking about trying to transfer his GI Bill benefits to me because I am currently going to school. That would be great because honestly school costs so much and I need to go to school because we haven’t found a job that makes what we made in the military since we’ve been out. We do a lot worse now that we are out. How is it that they can put such restrictions on who can transfer their benefits and who can’t. My husband would have been in the army for his whole career if he hadn’t had to be medically chaptered. He didn’t even want the chapter… he asked to be put in a different MOS but it didn’t work. I stuck by his side the whole time he was active duty and I am proud of the military and all of our soldiers… I even miss the life at times, but he can’t pass on his benefits to me because he didn’t make it to 10 years and can’t sign up for another 4? That is just stupid!!!!

ok once the gi bill is appointed to the dependent, is there anyway the dependent can loose the benefits of the bill, or can it be taken away.

My dad served in WW -2….was told perhaps my daughter could use his un-used credits for her education?
Is that true…I doubt from what I read above….could someone pls clarify.
Sounds like maybe if she is in active duty, and stays on for additional years…..she may
benefit from his un-used credits?
