One of the reasons I joined the Air Force in 1985 was to earn money for college. I signed up for the GI Bill, which required me to invest $1,200 and receive $10,200 later. Before my initial four-year service ended, my unit at Norton AFB shut down, and I was relocated to McClellan AFB. This was considered a change of station and required me to extend my service, which I did. However, I was allowed to separate early for college. Box 28 of my DD214 states my reason for separation was “ATTEND EDUCATIONAL FACILITY”.
