Which goes absolutely no distance at all to excusing the army's cutoff at one day prior to the deadline in an attempt to save some dollars at soldiers' expense.
BTW, did you notice the date it was posted?

Its an old story that has already been reported on and corrected by the army.
Also, the GI Bill applies here, and it is available to EVERY service member, including the NG, that served.
Here is how it applies...
Quote:Members of the Minnesota National Guard that have been Mobilized may apply for the following benefits:
Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) Reserve Education Assistance Program (REAP) 1607
Eligibility:
Mobilized 90 days or more ordered to active service in response to a war or national emergency declared by the President or the Congress
Disabled members who are injured or have an illness or disease incurred or aggravated in the line of duty and are released from active duty before completing 90 consecutive days are also eligible.
Benefit: (effective 1 Oct 05)
40% of the Active Duty MGIB - for 90 consecutive days but less than one continuous year;
60% of the Active Duty MGIB - for one continuous year but less than two continuous years; or
80% of the Active Duty MGIB - for two continuous years or more.
So you are actually reporting on a very old story.
