Considering College? Don't Refuse the GI Bill.

-- GI Bill Tip #1

Did you know that an enlistee only has one chance to sign up for the GI Bill? It happens in basic training, and those who sign up agree to have one hundred dollars a month deducted from their basic pay for one year. When the enlistee attends college, the military pays more than one thousand dollars a month at current rates for full-time enrollment in an approved, accredited school.

The GI Bill is a 'one time only' deal. Most people who refuse the GI Bill don't think they'll ever need it or think they can sign up for it later if they change their minds, but this is not the case. Don't refuse the GI Bill! The one hundred dollar a month deduction from your pay won't hurt much in that first year of military service, and the benefits of having the GI Bill are worth the expense.
