In my case, I only served 13 months after 9/11 which qualifies me for 60% of the Post 9/11 GI Bill for 12 months. The VA told me this over the phone without me even asking about it which suprised me. I am using the Montgomery GI Bill (Ch.30) for flight training due to it being a better deal for me and will use all of it prior to the 10 year mark. You can convert to the Post 9/11 if you served after 9/11, you just have to figure out what gives you the most. I can tell you that they are backed up on the reimbursement for flight training under Ch. 30. I have submitted training for Aug, Sept, Oct and have not received the first dime. Just spoke with the VA on 11/17 about it and they said something about computer problems causing the delay (no suprise).
