No. You are not eligible for the GI bill or post 9/11 GI bill with anything other than honorable. You can however exercise this benefit if you have served a previous term of enlistment, before your general discharge, as the day you re-enlisted you were discharged honorably and re-enlisted same day. You only need to read through the VA website to find this info for yourself. When it comes to your future, why trust something that someone says without proof or evidence to back it up?

Good luck.

This is incorrect you can receive the post 9/11 bill with general discharge

Actually, the first answer is correct technically. However, you should still contact the VA and request a determination of benefits. They may find your service to be Honorable for their purposes. This is sometimes the case if the VA finds the characterization of service was due to an isolated incident. Bottom line, apply for the benefit to see if the VA will find you to be eligible. No harm in trying.
