Army Student Loan Repayment?
All branches of the Military Offer this Program. But I can't find the answer to this anywhere on on any Military Website.
So the US Army offers up to 65,000 for new enlisted. After the Army contract, If I enlist with the National Guard, could I apply for their Student Loan Repayment as well. Please don't just guess, I want somebody to answer that actually knows.
If I was to guess I would say no, but these are different military branches that offer different benefits.

no. one or the other.
yes, you can
Guard/reserve educational benefits are completely separate from active duty benefits
Note: you can earn the post 9/11 Gi bill and the reserve select gi bill benefits
You just cannot use them at the same time, you have yto use one program, then the other.
You can also use Guard/reserve tuition assiatance while using active duty or reserve Gi bill benefits
2. So yes, if you have 85,000 in student loans, you can get 65,000 paid over 3 years in the active duty army
Then enlist in the guard/reserves and get 20,000 paid by them over your enlistment
Note: but you do realize, you accept loan repayment, you do NOT qualify for GI Bill benefits
And remember, loan repayment pays for loans you had, prior to enlisting, not loans taken after enlisting
No. You only get each program once per career. Just like you can't have the active and reserve GI Bill.
