A—It is a program of furnish ing financial aid for schooling and training to eligible veterans who served after June 27, 1950, the date of the outbreak of the Korean conflict. Q—Who is eligible for train ing? A—A veteran is eligible if he meets all of these requirements: (1) a discharge or release from service under conditions other than dishonorable; (2) active military duty any time after June 27, 1950, and before the end of the present emergency, and (3) at least 90 days total service, unless dis charged sooner for an actual ser vice-incurred disability. Q—Must a veteran have served in Korean to be eligible for the training benefits? A—No. He may have served in the armed forces any place in the world—in the United States or abroad—and not necessarily in Korea. Q—Are there any kinds of mili tary service that do not count, in figuring whether a veteran has enough service to qualify? A—Two types of service do not count: time spent in a civilian school studying courses offered to civilians, and time spent as a cad et or midshipman in one of the Service academies. Q—Assume that a veteran meets all the requirements for training. May he enroll under the Korean GI Rill even though he has gone DacK on active duty ana is in uni form ? A—No. Veterans are not eligi ble for Korean GI Bill training on active duty, even though they meet all the law’s basic requirements. Q—How much training entitle ment does a veteran get? A—An eligible veteran’s maxi mum period of entitlement is com puted on the basis of one and one half times his length of service on and after June 27, 1950, and prior to the end of the present emerg ency period. Q—What is the top amount of training a veteran may receive? A—The maximum is 36 months of training. Q—How much Korean Gl Bill training is allowed to a veteran who previously had trained under the World War II GI Bill or Pub lic Laws 16 or 894 for the dis abled ? A—Such a veteran must sub tract the period of training he al ready had from 48 months. His entitlement under the Korean GI Bill may not exceed this difference. Also, it must come within the 36 month limit and may not exceed his entitlement based on his ser vice. Q—What if a veteran’s entitle ment runs out when he is part way through a quarter or semester in school? Will he be allowed to continue ? A—If his entitlement expires af ter the half-way mark of a quarter or semester, he will be allowed to complete that quarter or sem ester. SGT. JONES TO SPEAK TO STUDENT GROUPS Sgt.
