I am glad that for those who might be positively affected by this when they decide to further their education at some point down the road, they need not worry about that benefit's clock winding down on them.Response by SGT Dave Tracy made Sep 11 at 2017 12:53 PM2017-09-11T12:53:03-04:002017-09-11T12:53:03-04:00Molly Morrone2909660<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Following this conversation to see other's thoughts and opinions!

If one gets a degree, it should be from a ranked and reputable school. One issue with GI Bill was unscrupulous unranked for-profit schools enrolling veteran students with deceptive / misleading advertising.Response by LTC Eugene Chu made Sep 11 at 2017 3:16 PM2017-09-11T15:16:10-04:002017-09-11T15:16:10-04:00SPC Jack Stinson2909991<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Nope, as I got out before the deadline I'm still under the old law.Response by SPC Jack Stinson made Sep 11 at 2017 3:39 PM2017-09-11T15:39:44-04:002017-09-11T15:39:44-04:00Cpl Justin Goolsby2910084<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm not quite familiar with the Forever GI Bill. I know that my Post 9/11 GI Bill had a 15 year expiration which I still have plenty of time left on it. Eventually I have plans to go back to school, but personally I feel like waiting until the political climate has cooled a little. Colleges don't seem to be the place where you can exchange ideas and thoughts anymore.<br /><br />I already have a degree in legal administration. I'm not sure if I want to pursue something higher, or branch out into a different field. I'm not currently utilizing my degree, so I guess it depends on where my current profession takes me.Response by Cpl Justin Goolsby made Sep 11 at 2017 4:25 PM2017-09-11T16:25:06-04:002017-09-11T16:25:06-04:00LT Private RallyPoint Member2910122<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have been fortunate enough to have my entire higher education paid for by TA and military graduate programs. That being said, I have 14 years in and I have two young kids both under 2 yrs old. This will allow me to transfer to them without fear of losing it past the 10 years after I possibly retire.Response by LT Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 11 at 2017 4:39 PM2017-09-11T16:39:43-04:002017-09-11T16:39:43-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member2910771<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, because they've increased benefits for IT professionals.<br /><br />My question to you is why are you asking? Are you trying to get ideas for better marketing your university towards Veterans? The "why" matters.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.military.com/education/2017/08/04/forever-gi-bill-details.html">http://www.military.com/education/2017/08/04/forever-gi-bill-details.html</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
