What should I be doing to make sure I have my GI Bill available when I want to go to school after the Army?

I’m currently in AIT, and I was curious as to what I should be doing to keep up/confirm that my GI Bill will be available for when I want to go to school?

Make sure you are honorably discharged at the completion of your service.

Serve three years of service and be honorably discharged. That's all you have to do, and it's all you can do.

I agree with everyone that made a comment. You just have to get an honorable discharge and that it. I will recommend that you use TA while your in so that way you will be closer to your degree. I hope this help and have a good day.

Don't use GI Bill while on active duty status. If you choose to take part-time college classes while in uniform full-time, use tuition assistance (TA) instead. Education center at your duty station should have details.

Double check your info with the Ed Center.
