When I enlisted I was set up with the Montgomery GI Bill
without any explanation or knowledge of my options. I have $62K to go to
school and approximately $18,000 remaining on my student loans before
the Service. My chain of command always told me it was too late once I
had learned about the alternative to the GI Bill, the student loan
repayment program, and that there was nothing I could do. Can you
clarify this issue for me please? My wife and I would rather pay off my
loan than return to school. That is if I can even get back into school
with loans. Still the preference remains I wish to transfer to this loan repayment program if at all possible.<br>

My enlistment contract was missing pieces when I was sent off to BCT which hindered me from receiving my enlistment bonus so I am hoping they did not lose more that I am unaware of. Also, I called to my MEPS (Denver) who stated they have no other documents than what I held despite the fact I was supposed to receive an enlistment bonus and who knows what else I missed out on when they failed to effectively handle my contract.
