VA to Reach Out to Vets on Post-9/11

Interesting bit of news - In the next few of weeks a contractor for the VA Education Service will be sending out a brief letter explaining the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The letter explains - in general terms - some facts about the program as it stands today - facts which can also be found at the VA website and on this blog.
According to the VA this outreach letter will be sent to any person who has served 30 or more days on active duty since September 11, 2001.
Having seen an advance copy of the letter, I think that it may cause more questions and concerns than it will answer. And remember everything is still subject to change.
lja - Nearly all title 10 related periods of active duty count except: `(1) A period of service on active duty of an officer pursuant to an agreement under section 2107(b) of title 10.
`(2) A period of service on active duty of an officer pursuant to an agreement under section 4348, 6959, or 9348 of title 10.
Not being well versed in ADSW I will have to leave it to you to determine which part of title 10 your ADSW time falls under. My guess is that it is 1293, 3911, or 3914 which appear to count. BUT I suggest that you call 1-888-GIBILL-1 to get the answer directly from the VA.

DOES ADSW COUNT?
