Not correct. When they passed GI Bill for Life your window to use benefits will never expire, but the window to transfer them to a dependent is still limited to when you're on active duty. From the same VA website you linked to:
>Can I transfer my Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits?
>You may be able to transfer your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to a dependent family member if you’re on active duty or in the Selected Reserve and you meet all of these requirements.
>All of these must be true:
>You’ve completed at least 6 years of service on the date your request is approved, and
>You agree to add 4 more years of service, and
>The person getting benefits is enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS)
Well shit, guess that makes this decision simple. Keep it in my back pocket if I ever get sacked I'll just roll into school for a bit (I sit on a bit of "fuck you" money too).
