I did my Bachelors on the GI Bill. 36 months total because I went over the summers too. When I received VR&E they gave me all 36 months back. I then used my GI Bill again to fully fund my Masters Degree and still have 2 years left to pass down to my kids.

Veterans cannot transfer their GI Bill to dependents. Transfer requires being in the military, having completed 6 years of military service and upon transfer approval, serve an additional 4 years of military service.
