A veteran is anyone who has served in the military. As far as veteran benefits are concerned, only those who have served at least six months on active duty are eligible for benefits. An exception would be a reservist who was injured during training. If you are a former reserve or National Guard member, stand proud as a veteran who volunteered to put your life on the line for liberty.
Yes, you are a veteran. Despite what many people think, veterans don't require war-time service. Simply serving for our nation gives you full legal and moral status as a veteran. Thank you for your service.
The minimum is 180 days of active service duty.
The basic requirement is that you have served in the armed forces. Most countries do have some additional restrictions. In the US, you must have been discharged either on a General or Honorable Discharge to qualify as a veteran.
First and foremost you will have to apply for a Certificate of Eligibility, or COE. You will need proof of being either a veteran or an active duty service member.
No. H.R. 1025 passed the House in 2012 but has not yet passed the Senate. Currently, you are only considered a veteran if you served on a Title 10 tour of duty. 99% of all National Guard active duty is served on Title 32. H.R. 1025 won't cost the government a penny, but until it becomes law, service in the National Guard does not make a person a veteran.
National Guard does not have a basic training, you are sent to basic training with other members of the Army whether they are in active or reserve status. No, you will not become a veteran if you fail to complete basic with any branch.
No - to qualify as a Veteran, you must have: 1. Completed a minimum of 180 days of active duty, or 2. Completed 90 days active duty with at least one day served in wartime, or 3. You served in wartime and were awarded a Purple Heart or service-connected disability, or died, regardless of whether you completed the minimum length of active duty service in the chart under. The key element in all factors is that you have to have been on active duty, meaning you swore the oath, signed the contract, and reported for duty. If you never made it to Basic, it doesn't qualify for being a Veteran. It would be different if you had served any time on active duty before reporting, and were injured or otherwise affected by health issues (service related only) requiring a discharge, since we're currently in a wartime status (since 1990) for Veteran qualification.
VA loans are mortgage options for borrowers who do not have down payments. They are available to veterans and active military personnel. VA loans are a little easier to qualify for than conventional mortgages.
