GI Bill

[rotcmom2016]

son has 3 year ROTC scholarship. In order to afford freshman year we are thinking about transferring 10 months of post 911 GI bill from my husband to our son. I understand that ROTC scholoraship recipients don't get the GI Bill after their 4 years of active duty. My question is, how would my son get the post 9/11 GI Bill. Would he have to go active duty instead of reserves during his last 4 of 8 years. Any help on possitves and negatives on my husband transferrying GI bill to my son would be appreciated.
