Posting this on another underground too, but I've called the VA, and I'm not really getting a direct answer or even a round about answer. To me it seems straight forward of a question.

My hubs is getting out of the military. He told me awhile back his MSGT walked him through the process of transferring some of his GIbill and did it- for both the kids and I.

I know the rule is "6 years, and must serve an additional 4 years from the date of transfer." My husband is coming to the end of his contract, and plans to transition into the reserves or national guard. Do those count as years? or is it strictly 4 years active?

I'd love to hear from those who have actually had benefits transferred and used them. or if you're Dr. Google, please link. I can find all sorts of links info on transfer, but not necessarily how the 4 years have to be served.
