This sucks for us because our oldest is a junior in HS, and she won't be eligible to use my benefits until she is a junior in college. Oh well, I guess she gets the old community college for a few years first.
My wife is the military member and she had about 8-9 years of full active duty and she has been in the AF reserve for 2 years. Do you know if the 2 years is a full 2 years or is it counted as partial like retirement?
