Cool. So you're saying I don't need to set up any payments then? When I first entered Active Duty they started withdrawing $100 from my paycheck every month and I was told I was ineligble for the GI Bill so I immediately had them stop and refund me the money, but you're saying that I shouldn't have to pay anything and as long as I serve 10 years Active Duty my kids will have tuition assistance for the next 15 years? Damn this sounds like a good deal.
