USMA and GI Bill

[patentesq]

If you attend USMA, are you still eligible for the GI Bill (assuming no prior enlisted time)?

In my day, I recall that ROTC scholarship recipients were no longer eligible for the GI Bill.

I am under the impression that you must serve past the 5 years owed before you can apply for the post-9/11 GI Bill.

No, the GI Bill does not count for USMA. It's on the West Point website's FAQ section.

Thanks. According to this site, http://forums.military.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/4460002232001/m/9830056152001, it looks like USMA grads can participate if they serve 90 days past their 5-year commitment. ROTC grads don't get the same consideration. Am I reading this wrong?

The new post 9/11 gi bill allows for usma and ROTC scholarship recipients to participate.
