So when i signed up just like many others i was young and dumb with no guidance and im still not very sure what all my benefits are. Im starting to learn that others have different benefits based off of how their recruiters took care of them. Where in all my paperwork can i find details on what was included in my contract? Thank you.

I can't remember the exact page number it's on, but there is a portion that shows how long you enlisted for and what options you got. Such as, TA, GI Bill, and what not. Plus, MEPS Counselor should have gone over these options with you right before you signed the contract.

Another thing to do, is get into your iPerms and print out your enlistment contract then take it to your Retention NCO and have them go over it with you.

You should if you have the time to go over your contract and read through it. To include talking to a career counselor that also provides information in benefits you can get now after you been in service as well.

You need to check DD Form 4, Section B. Read item 8 and everything underneath of it, to include any attached annexes. If is not there you won’t get it. If it is but not received, then a trip to the S1 will suffice.
