Is it true you lose your money in the GI Bill...?

If you contribute and don't go to college? I heard that you lose even the money you contribute if you don't go to college (I was on the VEAP program)

    Yes.

    But you have 10 Long years to use it. You can take classes at any University or College, Junior College even technical schools or certification training places and get the GI Bill to pay for it.

    When it comes down to it.... If you haven't used it in Ten Years. Were ever going to?

    You can use the GI Bill for vocational school, such as beauty school or bartending or truck driving and some other stuff in addtion to college. You do have ten years after you separate/retire to use the GI Bill. If you haven't used by then, you probably wouldn't anyways.
