Important distinctions...
2) The service required for eligibility for the post 911 Bill in the first place MUST be active duty. Any active-duty after 9/11 counts, EXCEPT for AT...ie MOB, ADSW, ADT, ADOS, or whatever other services call it. You need a CUMULATIVE 90 days AD to qualify for minimum pro-rated benefits. 36 months gets you the whole enchilada. This applies to federal reserves, Guard is different and I'm not familiar with it.
2) The "years of service" required for transfer eligibility (and subsequent incurred obligated service) can be either AD or drilling reserve (with Sat attendance).
