Vietnam Veterans can only use exchange facilities if they are retired from military service, medically retired, or VA 100% disabled. An exception would be a Vietnam Vet who is authorized due to current reserve or active duty status or dependent status.

If you are on AGR status (active duty) then yes but as an M-day airman, no.
Can a National Guard officer be a reservist or must he be in active duty?
Most National Guard officers are on reserve duty status.

As often as needed. That will be determined by your military occupation and status of the unit you're assigned to.

Any person who renders honorable service to their nation wearing a military uniform, in war or peace, is a veteran.
How much does one make in the us air force?
Unfortunately this question is based on several factors including duty status, deployment status, marital/dependent status, rank, time in grade, and whether or not you are Active, Guard, or Reserve.
Served in reserve during Vietnam war considered a Vietnam era veteran?
It is my best recollection that weekend warriors(National Guard and Enlisted Reserve) are not considered Viet Nam Era veterans unless they served two years of active duty during the years 1961-1974? Some sites cite 1964 as the beginning of the era and others cite different ending dates. The exception to this is if they were discharged while serving active duty for medical reasons. Active duty personnel of any branch during this era are considered Viet Nam Era veterans despite not having served in Viet Nam. This includes those stationed in Europe, the USA, and other postings as long as they were active duty. This specifically excludes weekend drills and summer camps. Some National Guard and Reserve units WERE activated and do qualify for this recognition. As someone with a serial number beginning with RA (regular army) I find it dishonest for someone who did not do the time to even think of claiming this status.
What is the DD 214 Form used for?
I've got two of them. It's the Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty. For someone on active duty who doesn't reenlist, this is given to them upon ETS. For members of the National Guard and Reserve components who undergo a period of federal activation (other than training), their status changes from National Guard, Reserve, IRR, et. al. to active duty during that time, and they receive a DD214 upon their release from active duty and back into their Guard/Reserve/IRR status. It'll give a characterization of their service, awards, duty stations and deployments, and reentry eligibility.
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?
No, you are not considered a Vietnam veteran. To be considered a Vietnam veteran, one must have served in the Vietnam War theater of operations, which generally includes service in Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, or Cambodia between the dates of July 26, 1959, and May 7, 1975. Since you did not serve in Vietnam, you are not considered a Vietnam veteran.
What is the opposite to an active status?
That is a passive status.
Can you go from army active duty to army reserve?
Probably not. It's extremely hard just switching from a reservist to active duty, I've heard guys that we're waiting more than 14 months to make the switch to active and are still on hold. Its all about the needs or the Marines reserves and the the needs of the active duty command. It probably won't even be possible to switch, unless you haven't left for boot yet.
What is the difference in active duty and inactive duty in the air force?
Active duty applies to a person who is in the Air force full time, it can also apply to a reservist who is performing active duty to meet his or her yearly obligation. Inactive duty usually applies to a member of the inactive reserve. They are not in a drill status, but could still be recalled to active duty.
