RAF MILDENHALL, England --  Information on the new "Post 9/11" Montgomery G.I. Bill is now available through the base education center.

Mike Schendel, RAF Mildenhall education chief, said briefings are scheduled for later this summer to educate servicemembers on the program's eligibility requirements and how they can transfer their G.I. Bill benefits to their dependents. Dates for the briefings are not available yet, but Mr. Schendel said Terrell Matthews, education guidance counselor, is available to brief individual units at their commander's request.

Those interested in the updated education program currently have four venues for more information: the base education center, the program's website, www.gibill.va.gov, http://www.defenselink.mil/home/features/2009/0409_gibill/ or by calling 1-888-GIBILL1 (442-4551) and speaking to a case manager.

Mr. Matthews is the RAF Mildenhall subject matter expert for the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill and can be reached at DSN 238-2350.
