It would depend on where you served. An example is If you were discharged in 1961 and served in Korea between June 30, 1949, until discharged; or earned Hostile Fire or Imminent Danger Pay eligibility. Those people in the armed forces of the United States shall become eligible for membership immediately upon arrival on hostile soil, in hostile waters or the airspace above in the performance of service.
