20 Top FAQs for the New GI Bill - Education - Military.com

15. Question: What types of education programs are approved for the new Post 9/11 GI Bill?
Answer: The Post 9/11 GI Bill differs in some ways from the MGIB when it comes to the types of programs that can be used. Under the Post 9/11 GI Bill you may receive educational and training assistance for any program of education that is approved under MGIB (chapter 30) and offered by a college or university. This includes vocational training programs that are offered by acredited colleges and universities only. However, if you were previously eligible for the MGIB, MGIB-SR (1606), or REAP (1607) you may continue to receive educational assistance for MGIB approved programs not offered by colleges and universities (i.e. flight, correspondence, APP/OJT, preparatory courses, and national tests).

FAQ #15 seems to indicate that flight training won't be covered by the new GI bill (maybe ER could be an exception as a university). Anyone else read this paragraph with the same interpretation?
