Can I Get the New GI Bill if I Got Out Before 9/11?

No, your service before September 11, 2001, doesn’t qualify you for the new Post 9/11 GI Bill. Only active duty service performed after that date counts toward eligibility toward the new GI Bill, and you need at least 90 consecutive days of qualifying active duty service to qualify for any benefits. This active duty can be in the regular active component, or time deployed under Title 10 of the US Code if you are in the Reserves or National Guard.
