Summary:Veterans do not receive a uniform out-processing in regards to education benefits information. Despite the VA providing ample education benefits to veterans, military branches do not prepare discharging service members for the benefits earned.

The veterans in this film also provided advice for future transitioning veterans to avoid common benefit mistakes.
