GI Bill for dependents?

The following is from the respective MILPERSMAN article. Basically, it's stating you can request a correction to your home of record and the process for doing so. When I changed mine, I simply told the YN1. From reading what the requirements are for making a correction, the command must have done the leg work, because I surely didn't. However, with some commands, some things just "happen" due to contacts at the Bureau, knowing the system, or by just plain old PFM.

8. Corrections

a. A request for correction to the home of record (for officer and enlisted) and/or place from which ordered to active duty (for officers only) must be authorized or approved by the NAVPERSCOM (PERS-324). The request shall be submitted by the individual to include

(1) full name,

(2) social security number,

(3) mailing address, and

(4) complete documentation and justification that the home of record or place from which ordered to tour of active duty was erroneous.

b. Active duty members will forward the request via their chain of command.

(1) Officer – NAVPERSCOM (PERS-324) will request the member’s command to execute a new NAVPERS 1070/74.

(2) Enlisted – NAVPERSCOM (PERS-324) will correct the enlisted member’s permanent personnel record and give commands authority to correct the field service record.

If you are a California resident and get rated disabeld from the VA during your checkout physical, your children can attend a CalState or UC school tuition free. CalVets pays for the tuition. It is a good deal. I took advantage of it; my father retired from the Marine Corps with a disabiltity rating and I attended San Diego State University tution free; my brother was going to go to University of California San Diego that way as well but he opted for ROTC at the private University of San Diego. Books and the cost of living are the killers.

Good luck,
Sara
