Who can help veterans with the Post 9/11 GI Bill around Joint Base Lewis–McChord?

Carlos, looks like you've received some good feedback. I would like to echo MSG (P) Brostoski's recommendation to drop in at RP/6 in Lakewood, WA. The RallyPoint 6 team is there to help veterans and their families. Their unique holistic approach will steer you in the right direction for your Post 9/11 GI Bill, as well as employment, benefits, family programs, housing, financial/legal, health & wellness, and volunteerism. Visit rallypoint6.co or just stop by 9881 Bridgeport Way SW, Lakewood, WA 98499 to be assigned a SCOUT who will assist you on your path ahead. Have a great Independence Day Weekend!

The VA at American Lake has a great education department. They always ran my questions to ground, ensured my monthly payments went out, etc.

Typically, you can stop into any college or university in the area (I go to UW-Tacoma and PLU) and speak to a VA representative. There are also a few dedicated VA offices that can be found on their website for a POC. I am on mobile right now, or I'd grab those for you.

If the Member has access to post I highly recommend going to the Stone Education center. It's on the road behind the National guard center that sits on 2nd and Pendleton. I have an appointment to go speak with an advisor soon!! Really exited!

Carlos,

I would recommend resources such as AMVETs, VFW or American Legion.

Also, If it is you going to school in WA, move sure to bring in a copy of your DD214 to the VA office. I think it is state-wide but I know that at the University of Washington they will usually cut your Tuition costs in half. I don't know how the Post-911 works, as I have the MGIB-SR (1606), but it may help with any limits of how much they will pay.

The best resource is the Veteran's Affairs Rep at the college/university you are planning to attend. All schools have a rep on staff, and they are there to ease your transition. Good Luck!
