Caroline she should be able to get some. With reserves they usually get a monthly check. It all depends on what school and other things how much they will get each month.

My daughter is currently at RTC and I am really disgusted at all the falsehoods that her recruiter fed us concerning college assistance. Has anyone had success with obtaining financial aid for their reservist? And to think I steered her away from the National Guard....they get all sorts of funds!

ANYONE who has a sailor in Pensacola. tell them to go to senic 90 cafe- It is off of senic hwy. Depending out what base they are on it could e about 15 min away. My mom works there they have good food. about 10.00 to eat. Also McGuires Irish pub is a classic local place. The owner owns a few but,this one is the original. They ca eat for about $15.00 I know it maybe little high but it is a place to go while in pensacola. ANY QUESTIONS ask ME. I grew up there!!! was there for 22 years before I got married. I am going to trust you will not use my name but, if you want to freak your son out tell them they better not go to SAMMY'S. it is an adult entertainment club that most sailors go to at least once when they get full liberty. There are some night clubs that they go to as well. they are no harm just sailors having fun. ( dance clubs)

littleman14, Your son can get the Montgomery GI Bill for Select Reservist, while being a Reservist in good standing. He does not have to be Active Duty to get this benefit or have done any Active Duty time. Boot Camp & training do not qualify as Active Duty time. There are three or four different Chapters of Educational Benefits under VA Educational Benefits. You have to choose the one that your son qualifies for that will pay the most benefits. There is also a chapter called REAP ( Reservist Education Assistance Program). Go to the website www.gibill.va.gov for information. You can also get phone numbers, so you can call the VA for assistance. I hope this helps.

My sailor had PIR this past Friday. He is now In a school In GL, he is an FC. He has some qualification to meet. The same as everyone, shadow other watches, inspection etc. he is on hold until the 24th of Nov. He found out that he will be gone longer than he thought. Apparently there are long hold times for his field, FC. Question , WHAT IS ATT? CAN YOU GET THE GI BILL AFTER A & C SCHOOL IF YOU ARE A RESERVIST AND HAVE NOT DONE ACTIVE DUTY. A little confused about someone's other comment. HOW LONG ARE HOLD TIMES?

Jensue0, Good Luck to your son. He can get GI Benefits for Select Reservists while in school. It is a monthly amount & takes a lot of paper work & time to get set up. Best source of info is www.gibill.va.gov.

Thx for the info, jeepgirl. And good luck to your son as he continues his job search!
I'm glad you told me that there may be a lengthy waiting period before my son starts drilling after he's done with A school. Thank goodness the timing should work out that he'll finish A school next March, but won't go back to college until next fall. (He's planning on his drill pay being his "spending money" every month while at school.)
