GI Bill Hacking?

[spohara]

In a forum dedicated to degree hacking, I assume people on here are finding clever ways to maximize GI Bill benefits.  What are some ways you're squeezing the most out of the GI Bill?

For grad school, what I'm looking at are some ways to wind my benefits down to as close to 0 as possible without actually getting to 0, through non-standard terms and the like.  I'd like to finish out a masters this way.  Then I want to do a 6 month term somewhere, looking at WGU data analytics, where I can walk away with a graduate cert or three depending how hard it is (possibly even another MS, but I doubt it).

Anyone had success with this or other ways to maximize?

I have about 24 months of gi bill left and am about to get my MSCSIA at WGU paid for by my employer later this year so I'm always looking for creative ways to use the rest of mine as well. My company tuition reimbursement covers a little over $5k/year so I could potentially try for a WGU MBAITM the next year, or work towards a SANS grads cert 1 class at a time.

Sometimes OJT works for it.  I know a few people who have masters and used the rest of it for OJT just to collect the MHA at their locality.  If you live somewhere expensive it can be quite valuable.  I figured for me it made more sense to pay for tuition.
