It is not days of service, but type of discharge. If you have a bad conduct discharge, a dishonorable discharge or a general discharge under dishonorable conditions, then you cannot be considered a veteran. Any other discharge and even if you only serve for a few days, you have served and are a veteran. Now, there is a specific number of days to be considered for VA benefits, including home loans and money. That has changed within the past few years and I'm not sure what it is now. It used to be 6 months, unless you were disabled while on active duty

Sadly enough just 90 day's! That's right 90 days.Unless the SM was actually kicked out for some reason ie: bad conduct,the SM is eligable for Benefits in the Veteran's Administration.Now some of you are thinking wow why sadly enough? Well because it takes at longer than 90 days to be in-processed recieve basic training,and then ANY skills training (Assigned job training)These people could not of possibly served this country in that amount of time.NOTE: SM stands for service member.

no one extremely responded the question asked. The question asked in case you would be considered a veteran on an identical time as nonetheless in lively accountability. The definition i got here across mentioned that a veteran is a former member of the militia, so no, lively accountability isn't considered veterans (yet)

It depends on what agency with which you are dealing. I work for a state government agency that considers anyone with an honorable discharge a veteran. Other agencies differ.

90 days depending on when you served i was just told by the VA. I was in from 29 dec 1994 until around end of april 1995, discharged for flat feet and i am eligible for VA benefits

well usually you serve 4 years....i think maybe the Army has a 2 year term..I'm not too sure....but I imagine if you served one day and got honorbly discharged..you'd be considered a veteran!

You mean years... right? You can't just serve for a few weeks, and say, "I'm a veteran"

To call yourself a real veteran you have to see conflict.
