I have used some of my GI bill already, but work/kid/life got in the way of finishing school. I am looking at going back to school and using that time to transition. If I changed my name (and legal gender marker) while using the GI bill does this become a huge pain?? Also, if I waited to go to school until after name change is it still accessible?
Not sure, but they are starting to amend DD-214s to reflect name and gender changes.
An applicant's request to amend a DD 214 must be made in writing by use of a "DD Form 149 Application for Correction of Military Record Under the Provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 1552."
Also, have you been to our veterans thread Roll Call (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,96755.0.html) yet?

Thank you, that is good news!
Yes, I did the poll and posted in "roll call".
