What Vietnam war status do I qualify for with active duty date 955 to 957 and navy reserve from 957 to 961?
Based on your active duty dates from 1955 to 1957, you would qualify for certain Vietnam War veteran statuses, as this period falls within the broader timeframe of U.S. military involvement in Vietnam. However, eligibility for specific benefits may depend on whether you served in Vietnam itself or were stationed in related areas. Your Navy Reserve service from 1957 to 1961 may also provide additional benefits depending on the circumstances of your service. It's advisable to consult with a veterans' service organization or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for a comprehensive assessment of your eligibility.
What else can I help you with?

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.

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?
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.

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.
