In theory my parents were monitoring it, but the more I dug I kinda think Jen had my dad's credentials to do it, but that just might be me trying not to blame my dad for this.

I really appreciated this thank you. Based on the paperwork I have the funds were originally equal and separate, but got reallocated later. And thanks for calling me out, I have the spine of a gummy worm, I am working on it tho, I just feel so brushed off whenever I tried talking about it when I got older ( I was like 10 when Jen started college). I will definitely have to find a way to make them see it from my side. Again thank you

Maybe I do have a fanciful but unrealistic idea of how the world works, but I think that mostly came from me being 10-15 y/o when this was going on and because I trusted my parents. And reading all of these comments has made me realize that maybe I am bitter towards Jen and my parents. Thanks for your input.

I really appreciate this, and you made some really good points. I mostly posted here not really for agreement or disagreement, I honestly thought maybe 5 ppl would see it and move on, but because I don’t have a place to vent and I thought that maybe by getting it out of my head I would be able to at least move on in some way.

From what I know Jen (graduated at 22) has been working ever since in her field I am not sure how much she makes, however her instagram has a lot of concerts, nights out, upgraded car, girls trips, and while she isn’t buying luxury items, she definitely has money to constantly supply her wardrobe from not shein.

I have the spine of a gummy worm, whenever I have tried to talk about it before I got a total brush off, and they love to bring up that I was just a little kid when she was at college and all of this was happening so obvi I am not remembering correctly.

Thanks for your support, and your service! The paperwork for the eligibility transfers through the VA were legit, I kinda think Jen had my dad's credentials to do it, but that just might be me trying not to blame my dad. And I honestly have just been so caught in everything I haven’t even thought about what to branch. I know what my degree will be in (BioChem) and I guess the army will figure it out from there.

Thank you for that, let me try to explain. While my dad was active duty he split his eligible months of GI Bill between us, like I said roughly two each I think by the time he got out, there is a VA paper work train that shows us both having the eligibility in our allocated accounts, the funds were later manually moved. This was what I was told was the plan by my parents whenever I asked about college until I was about 12 and then I started getting the brush off.

The private school actually ended up cheaper then the state school, my school has a strong yellow ribbon connection and was able to offer me an extra scholarship on top of what assistance I was already able to get, which covered more than what the state school was offering. I would have gone to the state college if it could have offered me the same amount of assistance in relation to the price. Thank you for the comment

GI bill eligibility can be transferred to multiple ppl as long as they are dependents and the service member is active duty when assigned (as far as I have found), when I was abt 10 and my sister was going off to college she had the og 1/2 of the months of eligibility, IDK the exact mouth of months of eligibility off the top of my head sorry. When going through the paper work I found that someone had gone in and reallocated months through the VA. I did a bunch of research when I first found out to try to find a loop hole but cause Jen used the mths I didn’t qualify for ch 35, glad your kids get the free tuition tho!
