Hmm, there was a time when the MGIB and ACF were calculated separately. Perhaps 1995 was that time. It could be that you'll get $30,000 + whatever the MGIB was at the time of your enlistment. I'd ask. Ya never know, you might luck out and get a buncha money!
I think that's the way they calculated it when I joined too. MGIB was only worth $20,000 back then, so they gave me $30,000 for ACF. The difference is that they totalled it ($50,000) and put the cap on it there. So when the rate for MGIB goes up, my total for ACF goes down.
