I got my BS and MBA through the military and didn't touch a dime of my GI Bill....I still don't know what I'll do with it except watch it disappear.
The Army currently allows GI Bill benefits to be transfered to dependents, but the eligibility is very limited.
Hopefully, in the future, all servicemembers will be able to transfer their GI Bill benefits to their dependents. While I had to dip into my GI Bill to finish my degree this year, I still have a good amount of it left. I'm saving my GI Bill for grad school, but I would give it to my daughter if I could.
And to think that I almost turned down my GI Bill. The money for college was never a selling point for me joining the Navy. I thought it was a rip off to pay $1,200 for something I never intended to use.
That would have been a big mistake.
