I was looking through GI Bill information for a friend and came upon this statement.
"Have a six-year obligation to serve in the Selected Reserve or Guard signed after June 30, 1985. If you are an officer, you must have agreed to serve six years in addition to your original obligation."
Link to referenced statement: https://benefits.va.gov/BENEFITS/factsheets/education/CH1606.pdf
He is currently 4 years into his 8 year service obligation. Does this mean he must serve (or at least sign for) a total of 14 years to receive any GI Bill benefits? He wishes to transfer any education benefits to his daughter.
I couldn't mind much of anything online and decided to ask y'all fine RallyPoint goers.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, there will be an additional 6 years added and you will need to sign a statement / extension to this affect.
