Yes......HOWEVER

No payment to be eligible...ie the $1200 for the Montgomery GI Bill is not applicable here. No payment into it.

AFA Grads and ROTC scholarship are eligible. But the time calculation for benefits is the time served AFTER your commitment for the original AFA or ROTC ADSC. In other words, you owed 5 years for AFA---your clock for the GI Bill begins at 5 years and 1 day etc. So you would need 36 mos of Active duty after the 5 years to be fully eligible.
