PM'd. Any other dependents using the GI Bill around here? It would be nice to hear from other folks in the same boat. We are PCSing soon, and I'm wondering how the GI Bill coordinator at our next duty station will be.

I am using it! Thankfully other people did all the initial legwork for me that was a pain. I am using it for 2 years and another of my family already used one year and it worked out fine with no issues. Getting the transfer and the certification letter do take time though so plan early and submit all the forms. Most everything is online. Our GI Bill at our base was a huge help so hopefully yours will be too!

I'll be using it for at least one year. I've already been allocated 9 months of GI Bill (enough for one academic year) but haven't jumped through any other hoops yet.
