There is actually a code (or at least during the Viet War there was) that designates VETERAN status. And that code cannot (or could not) be awarded until completion of military duty which satisifed that code's requirement.
Therefore; if a veteran (an honorably discharged serviceman) re-enlisted into the US Military...he would be a former veteran on active duty.
