I joined the first time in 1973, served til 1977, was honorably discharged, then attended school on that GI bill. I rejoined in 1986, and was comissioned Dec 12, 1986. I retired in 2006. Do I have any VA funding of any sort available?
A great resource is the Department of Veterans Affairs' itself. They now have a secure "Question & Answer" website where you can submit an inquiry and get an e-mailed reply. It is on the DVA website http://www.gibill.va.gov/ Go to the left -side menu and click on "Question & Answers".
You will need to set up an account by supplying your e-mail address for the DVA reply. For your inquiry you will want to supply your name as it would have appeared in you service recourd and your file number (social security number) Remember, this is asecure site so sharing the file number isn't a problem.
You will be sent an e-mailed message acknolwedging your inquiry with an estimate on how long it will take to get the answer (usually no longer than a few working days for complex, researched inquiries).
