Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for education benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill at a rate above 60 percent due to his second period of service being excluded as it was required by an agreement after attending a Service Academy.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's second period of active duty, which began after graduation from a Service Academy and included a five-year obligated term, is not considered qualifying active duty for the purposes of determining eligibility for higher rate Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits.
