The 10 year thing isn't exactly correct, but also depends on which GI bill and when you left service. The Montgomery GI bill had the 10 year limit but I don't even know if that can be signed up for anymore. Everyone I knew of at the time converted to the post 9/11 GI bill, which has a 15 year limit. There is the possibility for an extension. Also in 2017 a bill was past removing the 15 year limit depending on when you left service. I recently was looking into this because I thought I had a 10 year limit but I apparently have five more years. I'll be looking into college enrollment pretty soon.

Nice that the options have evolved and added options for extensions and removing some limits. I served a long time ago and vested in the Montgomery GI bill. I suppose the only thing left would be to improve communication around the limits in boot camp if they have not done so already.
