Question:
I am trying to request to get covered by the forever GI Bill; due to hardship and not being able to attend school in the first 15 years; I got out in Oct 2011 and have small kids (youngest 17 months), a full time Job that keeps me working 60 hours a week, and am in the Navy Reserves which gives me 20 more hours a week of requirements to fulfilll. I have not been able to carve out the time to use my benefit and will not be able to until my children all get to Jr High in 10 more years, at such time my benefit will be expired. Can I request to be considered in the forever Gi Bill and what is the procedure to do so? Thanks for the help
