Montgomery GI BILL! How does it work?
Im enlisting this december under the DEP in the USMC. The community college I am attending is only $1500 a semster so its not a big deal financially. After my 4 years are up in the Marines, I will be 24. I really want to get my B.S Degree either in Criminal Justice or maybe a new carrer oppurtunity. Does the GI Bill really pay for all of the tuition? Is the GI Bill really legit. My recruiter said it can pay up to $80,000? Is this true? Thanks for you time and information Semper Fi, Jared

Effective 1 August 2009, the New "Post 9/11 G.I. Bill" will go into effect. Chapter 30 MGIB will not be going away, and it still has some benefits worth considering if you're not going to attend university. Check out 38 U.S. Code 33 for the lowdown on the new G.I. Bill. If you can't find it online, check out the Library of Congress web site and research H.R. 2642 or Public Law 10-252. Depending on where you go to school, the maximum benefits under the new G.I. Bill can approach $80K. Maximum in-state tuition, a housing stipend equivalent to BAH at the E-5 rate with dependents (providing you're not on active duty, are attending an actual brick & mortar school, and are carrying more than half-time credits, annual book stipend, etc.

Just what CHASGOW said. Starting this August the new GI Bill will pay the full tuition of your school(up to the highest in state public school) as well as a living allowance that varies per city. The GI Bill really is a good deal.
