There are other financial assistance programs you may be able to utilize.

Talk to your ESO to learn how you can best leverage your education benefits WITHOUT tapping into your GI Bill. <br /><br />I&#39;ve been able to pursue an education up to a Master&#39;s degree without touching my VA education benefits.

Because you will not get the BAH amount at all being active duty. Now, there are other options for you to use as well to help you for education benefits.
