It's used to describe soldiers and other service members for whom military service is their primary occupation; i.e., they are service members full time. This is opposed to reservists, who soldier on a part-time basis.
If you have the person's service information, you can request records and other information at the National Archives & Records Administration's (NARA) online Veterans Records request site. Without any information (Service number or SSN) it's virtually impossible to find any current or former veteran or active service member. Details concerning active members are typically classified at least For Official Use only and are not readily available to the public. NARA's EVetRecs site URL is: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html

Spouses of active duty service members in pay grades E1-E5, W1-W2, and O1-O2, as well as the spouses of activated Guard and Reserve members within those ranks. Spouses of Guard and Reserve members must be able to start and complete their courses while their sponsor is on Title 10 orders.
For the most part active duty service members have military medical care in military facilities. Under certain circumstances the military pays civilian medical facilities to provide care to active duty service members. The families of active duty military personnel have a health care plan called TRICARE Prime which is similar to an HMO. Active duty service members and their dependents do not pay premiums for health care or prescription medications. Retired service members and their dependents also have military medical care and TRICARE available to them, but must pay premiums for TRICARE Prime. TRICARE Standard, which is a cost sharing plan, is also available to retired service members and their dependents. Once service members and their spouses turn 65 years of age and are covered by Medicare, TRICARE for Life acts as supplemental insurance for Medicare. Premiums for Medicare, Part B now vary by income.
Spouses of service members on active duty in pay grades E-1 to E-5, W-1 to W-2, and O-1 to O-2 who can start and complete their coursework while their military sponsor is on Title 10 military orders, including spouses married to members of the National Guard and Reserve Components in these same pay grades.

Killed in service is a phrase to describe when members of the military are killed while on active duty. The term is most frequently used during wartime.
it is a date represented in YYMMDD format that represents how much active duty service time you have. For Active Duty members it is usually the date of their enlistment. For Guard/Reserve members it changes and you subtract the total number of ADT days (not including drill weekend or PT days as those are IDT) from today's date and that will give you the TAFMSD. This is a tricky equation and takes practice.
If you have your belongings in someone else's storage, and they've not paid the bill, then the storage owner can sell the things inside, no matter who owns them.

No, the U.S. Army does not have a 15-year retirement option. Typically, active duty service members are eligible to retire with full benefits after 20 years of active service. Reserve time does not count towards active service retirement, but it may count towards retirement in the Reserve Component.
