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.
