So I’ve used up my post 911 gi bill and im trying to pursue my master’s. I enlisted in the reserves and I believes reservists are entitled to the montgomery gi bill; however, my father was also a fully disabled vet after Vietnam so that makes me eligible for the ch 35 gi bill. Am I able to use both of these benefits for my masters?

They both have limits on how long you are eligible. I believe the disability benefits should be used first.

You are probably referring to VA DEA. That requires you to be under 26 years old when starting to draw that money. Chapter 35 ??? of what ?

There are some educational benefits for Reservists. The link is more "big picture" overview, than anything else, but it should give you an idea what might be available from the Reserves.
You may also want to check with your state to see if they offer education benefits. I inquired in my state when I was working towards my Masters, but as I was already getting the Post 9/11 GIB, I wasn't be eligible for anything from the state until I exhausted that federal benefit, which was fine.
