How long do you have to use a gi bill?

On the old Montgomery GI Bill, the limit is 10 years after your last day in service. On the new Post 9/11 GI Bill, the limit is 15 years. You can request to change from the Montgomery to the Post 9/11 GI Bill, and the limit will change to 15 years. There are advantages to both systems however, depending on your situation. Don't change over blindly, do your homework. I read up on it a bit, and decided to stick with the old Montgomery system. The Post 9/11 GI Bill provides BAH to students attending full time, but your classes have to be on campus, not on-line. There's a catch to everything.
