It reimbursed tuition and books not to exceed a specific dollar amount I think I got $108 a month for two years, 57/58. Of course that would be the equivalent of $800+ today. I was averaging $600/800 a month selling used cars part time, so it was just fun money to me.

Mike, Bill, please tell me what college you both attended. One of these days soon I intend to do some research and run the numbers on what that same education costs today, and then we'll see whether GI's get the same education benefit today they did in the 40's 50's 60's or 70's. My assumption is, when you factor in the rising cost of housing, the rising cost of education, the rising cost of books, and inflation, the numbers don't even come close to the same benefits. But in order to make this a fair comparison, I need the college you both attended. That way I can go to their website and pretend to enroll. Here is the scenario, you both just got ouf of the service after 4 years and want to attend that same college today. This might be fun.....;-)
