Activation and Mobilization Checklist
Activation/Mobilization Checklist (PDF
64K)
BEFORE YOU LEAVE
- Notify the school and your professor/instructor that
you have been activated and present the
appropriate administrator with a copy of your orders.
- Be sure to make contact either in person
or via telephone. Leaving a voicemail or
email message is insufficient because further information may be required.
- Keep a record of names, dates, individuals,
and a brief summary of your conversations
with the school and lending institution.
- Notify your school's VA counselor that you
have been activated and present your
activation orders. Discuss the appropriate course of action with the
VA
Counselor. Note: Do not withdraw from school
until you have your orders.
- Contact
your student loan lending institution.
It is your responsibility to follow through with any procedure the
lender
indicates.
- Call your Education
Office. If you encounter any problems
resolving your academic status, request assistance
from
your Education coordinator.
Note: To ensure proper
credit and
to prevent any financial loss to the soldier, these steps must
be completed prior to
departure.
WHEN YOU
RETURN
- Contact
the VA Certifying Official at your school
to determine your eligibility for the
Reserve Education Assistance Program (REAP - Chapter
1607)
or the Active Duty GI
Bill (MGIB-AD Chapter 30) and
to establish reinstatement of your GI Bill benefits.
- To
determine your eligibility for MGIB-AD Chapter
30, contact the ARNG
GI Bill Support
Team (gibill.ch30@pec.ngb.army.mil) or your state
GI Bill
Manager.
- Upon
redeployment, if you plan to
continue your education, contact your college admissions
professional to find out what steps you must take
to re-enroll. If
you withdrew
from school, you may be required to re-apply in
order
to get
back into their
system. Contact
your school's admissions
counselor for application details
and to determine your class standing. Note: Depending
on how long you were away from school, this process
may
differ from
that of a first time
applicant.
- Re-establish
contact with your academic advisor to discuss
continuation
of
your degree
program and applicable credit for your military
experience
and training.
- Contact
your state Education Services Officer and
TA
Manager
to determine eligibility
for tuition assistance and state-funded education
assistance (if
applicable).
