In 2000 they gave your commander say in whether you got Montgomery GI Bill benefits or not.
And if your Capt was a POS, well you didn’t get it. (NY Army National Guard)
2012, you weren’t given the option in actuality to use Montgomery GI Bill even if you were technically eligible to be under it due to prior service, they automatically put you under the post 9/11 rewrite. (Again, NY Army National Guard)
Was any of the above the correct action, no but that doesn’t matter it’s what happened.
Sick part, recruitment still talks about the Montgomery GI Bill despite it being supplanted and replaced by the post 9/11 bill.

That would explain a lot. I was active duty Air Force, but the last commander I had WAS a total douche. I was also laid up several months because of a bad car accident, and they wouldn’t extend my delimitating date (I think that’s what you call it). Yep, the military definitely looks after it’s own.

[Alas Babylon!]

I retired in 1998. Too late for the Global War on Terrorism, whatever that was.

Was any of the above the correct action, no but that doesn’t matter it’s what happened.

Looks like the Supremes have rectified this. It matters today.
