To release from military service at the end of a war?
During the Vietnam War, when a man enlisted or was drafted into the service (usually the Army), he was committed to 6 years of service; two on active duty, and the remainder of time in the INACTIVE reserves (subject to recall for emergencies only). If the man did his whole obligation time in the National Guard/Reserves, then he did his full 6 years in uniform (one weekend a month, plus two weeks annually). If a serviceman did an extra 6 month tour in Vietnam (12 months plus 6 more) then he often qualified for a SIX month early out (discharge from the service at 18 or so months instead of the full 24 months of active duty). If the man had a year or so remaining for his enlistment, after completing his 12 months in Vietnam, then he returned to some Fort somewhere, and finished his time there. DEROs was rotating out of Vietnam; ETS was honorably discharging from the service (ETS=Estimated Time of Service).

I served actve duty from 1959 to Dec 1962. I was in active reserve from 1962 to 1967. I never served in Vietnam. Am I considered a Vietnam veteran?
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.
