I just wanted to let you know the VA has uploaded its Video Guide to the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill to Youtube!

Pass the link along if you know any veterans/service members who might need clarification on the new benefit.

Post 9/11 G.I. Bill guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wwzie29m5Y

Some of the question the videos tries to clarify are:
Who is eligible?
What are the benefits?
What about officers and college loan enlistees?
What kind of education does it cover?
Does it cover Advanced Degrees?
How does the Spouse/Dependent Transfer Option work?
Who might not need this benefit?
How does the Yellow Ribbon Program work?

I was the producer on this piece so if you have any questions let me know.

Thanks,
