I never did regular Active Duty, but I deployed twice to Iraq with the NG 2005 and 2008. Still serving. My question is I'm I still eligible for for the GI Bill ?

Many Guard and Reserve servicemembers and veterans activated after Sept. 11, 2001 are eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. If you are a Guard or Reserve member or veteran who served at least 90 consecutive days on active duty in the Armed Forces since Sept. 11, 2001, you're eligible.

The new bill goes well beyond helping to pay for tuition; many veterans who served after Sept. 11, 2001, will get full tuition and fees paid directly to their school, a monthly housing stipend, and up to $1,000 a year stipend for books and supplies.
