When do you sign up for the GI Bill?

Question

I already signed my enlisted papers, is that suppose to be included in my enlistment papers or not.

Answer 1

basic training

Answer 2

Before you sign up for the G.I. Bill (which you should do) read this info about it so you'll have a better idea . After two or three days of in processing. the last thing you want to do is try and figure out what the h**l he just said about a cat jumping out of the SOS pot.

Thank you for your service.

Answer 3

My recruiter told me at Boot Camp.  

Answer 4

I remember opting for it in boot camp when I filled out my first pay records.

Answer 5

I think you do that at the Reception center.

EDIT: Reception center is where they take you before you start Basic.  It's all about getting everything ready for you to be a soldier.  You get your uniforms, dog tags and take care of paperwork.

Answer 6

In boot camp when you are filling out all your papers.

UGH, i hate the GI Bill, its a bunch of jerks who pick and choose whether to give it or take it away from you, they can ever make you pay it back.

Answer 7

Well, it used to be done during the first couple days of boot camp. When you start boot camp you will get a lot of paperwork to fill out and the GI Bill form was one of them. But the GI Bill is changing. Before you had to sign up for the GI Bill and set up a $100 a month payment for 12 months. Well, last month a new GI Bill was passed that does away with the $1,200 contribution. Now the GI Bill is automatically given to every military person that has served since 9/11 (which is the way it should have been in the first place). So they should be doing away with the GI Bill paperwork that used to be given to new recruits at the begining of boot camp. It's no longer needed under the new GI Bill since it is now free.

Answer 8

you are automatically signed up for the GI bill, the $100 monthly charge will be automatically deducted from your pay, you have to UN-VOLUNTEER (can't think of right word) when you get to BCT,BMT, or BOOT, if you don't wish to participate.----------------------------... the guy above me is right then I dont know.
