Education Benefits
Federal education benefits through the Montgomery G.I. Bill are available to most unit members provided they enlist for 6 years. These benefits are available to our members after completion of basic training and technical school. This program is a non-contributory benefit, meaning no payment or reduction in pay is required to receive these benefits. The Montgomery GI Bill chapter 1606; pays a monthly stipend to offset the cost of attending college full-time or part-time. Another education benefits for members enlisting for six years in a critical skills job is the Montgomery GI Bill kicker of up to $350 per month for full-time college enrollment. If you have prior military service and elected the active duty MGIB, you may still take advantage of this benefit up to a maximum of 48 months of combined benefits at the full-time rate.
