only if active military? isn't g.i. bill for former miltary? you might spend like over 35 yrs in the military, you ever seen combat or anything close to it?

My understanding is only active military, or for reserve/national guard that are on active duty orders (ie a deployment or rotation away from the States).

Unless you're a General/Admiral or Sergeant Major of the Army/other branch equivalent (only one of those at a time), you likely won't spend more than 32 years in the military. Some exceptions out there, but not the rule.

I haven't seen combat personally, but I have been part of the support unit for a unit that fought in the Battle of Mosul in 2016. I wasn't in Iraq though, just other members of my platoon were(only a few went).
