Retired, yes, children can get full free college. But, retirement means a 20-year service period. Just an enlisted soldier who served 2 years? I don't think the military would pay for your education and that of your children for 2 years of service.

Just because your mom or dad is in the Army, this does not mean the Army will necessarily pay for your college. Often types, you can get full tuition no matter what. For instance, the (Indiana) National Guard offers 100% tuition, and if you play your cards right, you can earn a masters and a bachelors. But being an "Army brat" doesn't give you any unfair advantage.

Sorry, no free college for the kids. There are lots of scholarship opportunities out there for military kids, but no free rides! (There are certain states that give free rides.. Georgia is one)
Skaizun - FYI, the term "brat" when used by someone in the military or by a "brat" is not disrespectful! I am an AF brat, I wear the title proudly. My children are AF brats, and they know to be proud of that title. As a "brat" we led different lives as children, which then impacts our lives as adults. My girls are different from other kids, they have different experiences, had to make different adjustments. Now, if you're not associated with the military, don't you dare care us "brats". It's strictly a "family" knickname!

I'd like to know why you care, since you say, "im (sic) not sure" (i.e., it sounds as if you have a vested interest in this, and it would have been nice to know, one way or the other (school project? YOU'RE an army brat?)).
BTW, I have met and known plenty of families of military personnel, of which some of their children have lived most of their lives on military bases - - army or otherwise - - and not one could be considered a "brat". Given the overall nature of this question, it was completely unimportant to the issue. Granted, you probably used the term solely as shorthand, but it shows disrepect and sets a negative tone for the question. You could have referred to them as, "Children of currently-serving military personnel" . . . or was that too many letters for you? ;)
Regardless, many States have programs to assist children of serving or deceased military personnel. Contact your local enlistment office or Congressman for further information.

My husband passed away while serving in the 82nd Aviation Division of the Army. Our sons were very young but now they are college age. My husband never used his GI bill so it was passed down to myslef and my sons.

My husband retired with 20 years Navy and no...our children do not get any college help for that. I wish they did. However, they do offer scholarships just like other companies or agencies.

I don't believe so, but if your parent in the military gets the Medal of Honor, then the child gets a slot at one of the service academies, which is free.
