@rosetamayo, here is some advice. You are responsible for your education. You need to find out what you are eligible and the associated benefits. I would schedule an appointment with the on post education counselor for you and your father. This way your father can give his service details so the counselor can determine what benefits you are entitled and you can hear it first hand. The post education counselors are not there only to help service members but also help their spouses and their children.

Don’t assume your father will pass on every detail of information, know what you consider important or ask the important follow up questions that are obvious to you. Information doesn’t always get passed or passed correctly when you use another person. Also, his sense of priority may not be the same as yours Example, did you always pass the information your parents gave you to the intended individual in the time your parents wanted? I still have this issue with my spouse when she wants a specific item fixed in the house but wants me to call the repairman without giving me all the details but she assumes I magically know what happened.

The benefits are yours and not your father’s. You need to take the lead. The resources he would use are available for you and don’t be afraid to use them.
