Newly elected Alaskan lawmaker Josh Revak, a veteran who’s using the GI Bill to obtain his master’s degree, says that despite the challenges, the benefits from GI Bill could greatly improve a veteran’s life.

“Aside from all the challenges that folks have been experiencing with the GI Bill, if there’s veterans out there who have not used their GI Bill and still have it available, I would encourage those folks to test their own boundaries and get into school and start taking some classes,” Revak said.
