For each period of reenlistment of a member, the benefit provided pursuant to this subsection may only be used by one eligible person.

8. If a waiver is granted pursuant to subsection 1 for a recruit and the recruit does not enter full-time National Guard duty within 1 year after enlisting, the recruit shall reimburse the Board of Regents for all registration fees and laboratory fees waived on behalf of the recruit if the recruit’s failure to enter full-time National Guard duty is attributable to his or her own conduct.
