To be considered a veteran, you must serve honorably for a minumum of 180 days (6 months) after you have reached active service (after your basic training is completed).

Yes,,, but when seeking employment the Fed and almost every municipality uses a veterans point system, and serving during that time frame but not in Vietnam would only give that vet a limited number of points.

Yes, to be a "veteran" merely means that you have served in the military.

Yes, and I am as proud of non-combat veterans as I am of those who have seen the elephant.
