The Montgomery GI Bill had to paid into starting in Basic Training. The big difference between the two is that the Post 9/11 pays the school based on &quot;months&quot; and pays the member BAH based on single status at I believe the E5 rate for the area. Check with your education office, but you should already be enrolled in this program (and as a bonus, if you are looking at going into a STEM field, there is now an additional scholarship offering an additional 9 months of training up to $30,000) TSgt David Holman Tue, 17 Apr 2018 12:54:17 -0400 2018-04-17T12:54:17-04:00 2018-04-17T12:48:36-04:00
