EDUCATIONAFSA has long maintained that the Montgomery G.I. Bill (MGIB) needs to be updated to reflect the increasing cost of education. The program also must be adjusted to recognize the increasingly operational, active service role of members of the Selected Reserve. The “education benefit” continues to be a major reason that Airmen enter the service.
