Yes, you can still receive VA benefits after leaving active duty, provided you meet the eligibility requirements. Benefits such as disability compensation, education assistance, and healthcare may be available to veterans based on their service record, discharge status, and any service-connected disabilities. It's important to apply for these benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs to determine your eligibility.

And sometimes those sentences had this on the end of them, "...on active duty NOT FOR TRAINING."
