Vital Info for Veterans seeking GI Bill assistance -
GI Benefits can be accessed once assigned and PRESENT @ your selected facility. As you can read below Sooner1ATC pointed out that GI Benefits cannot be accessed while @ OKC (I apologize for the incorrect title) b/c.. well.. shinanigans.
As quoted from the website below, Benefits can be applied to "OJT" time once you have arrived and begin working/training at your selected facility after your graduation from OKC.
"First, when new employees go to the Academy, they already know their destination facility. They should contact their facility and advise the facility that they would like to access their GI Bill benefit. The facility Certifying Official can fill out the enrollment forms (22-1999 & 22-8864) and submit them electronically to the VA. They then generate the employee's training agreement and fax this to the Academy to obtain the employee's signature. This should complete the enrollment process while they are still at the Academy."
while the NATCA website is vague or non-disclosing as to the nature of GI BILL benefits while AT OKC, it's clear that at the very least your facility will be able to certify you to receive benefits once you are on site.
