The opportunity to sign up was not disvussed and no paperwork was handed out to sign up. All that was discussed was it was a new program replacing VEAP. How can I find out why why our basic training group was so ill advised of the program and not given the opportunity to sign up? I was honorably discharged in 1990 and signed up to Join the Army to have another opportunity to sign up for the GI Bill but was refused based on being prior military status.
