Check with TODAYs VA. They change their rules (federal laws) frequently. They up-date them, change them, add to them, and delete them. During the Vietnam days, reserves (Army and Air National Guard & USAR/USNR/USMCR/etc) normally did not receive veteran status credit for active duty TRAINING days. They did receive vet status if they performed active duty for OTHER THAN TRAINING purposes. Examples: Reservists & Guardsmen of the Colorado/New Mexico/Iowa/and New York AIR National Guard are Vietnam Vets because they flew their National Guard F100 Super Sabre jets in Vietnam for one tour (they flew approximately 30,000 combat sorties). Kentucky & New Hampshire sent their Army National Guard 2/138th Field Artillery & 3/197th Field guns to Vietnam; these men are Vietnam veterans.

If you were honorably discharged in February 1961 from the Army after serving from 1958 would you be considered a Vietnam vet?
Unless you actually served in Viet Nam you are not a Viet Nam Veteran. You are considered a Veteran. I served from 1964-1967 and never was sent to Viet Nam, but was sent to Germany. I am a Veteran but not a Viet Nam Veteran.Additional infoVietnam vets are vets that served from 1964 to 1975 and received the Vietnam Service Metal (VSM ). The military had regulations covering who received the VSM. So since you did not serve during those dates, you would not be eligible for the VSM and therefore not considered a Vietnam Veteran. (If you had served anytime from 1964 to 1975 and had not received the VSM, you would be referred to as a Vietnam Era Veteran.

What Vietnam war status do I qualify for with active duty date 955 to 957 and navy reserve from 957 to 961?
Based on your active duty dates from 1955 to 1957, you would qualify for certain Vietnam War veteran statuses, as this period falls within the broader timeframe of U.S. military involvement in Vietnam. However, eligibility for specific benefits may depend on whether you served in Vietnam itself or were stationed in related areas. Your Navy Reserve service from 1957 to 1961 may also provide additional benefits depending on the circumstances of your service.
