Can anyone help me understand what options if any are available to someone going into the AF for student loan repayment? I have a friend that’s a tech sergeant and he said something about you can use the GI Bill to pay back some of your student loan debt but he wasn’t real clear…
I haven't heard that one - I'd check out the gi bill website and see if you can find anything on that.
I would call your student loan lenders and see if there are any programs to reduce/postpone interest while on AD. There definitely are some options when you're deployed... and you
will be deployed. And even if you can't work a good deal with your loans, use the extra $$ from combat pay and tax exemption to pay down the principal.
