I was in the Army, and need to know about any benifits qualified for.

You only get benefits if you remain in for 2 years unbroken service.

It depends on where you served actively (6 months in a combat zone), wounded, or if you had a service-connected disability and how you were discharged. I know for a fact that reservist are receiving benefits if they served in active duty (mostly combat zones) for at least a year. I work for the VFW and receive a lot of compensation claims through out the year. Gather up your information, and head down to a VA facility to inquire if you really like to know. Most important paper you have, and that you will need is your DD-214.

You can't do a "6 month tour" in the Army and get out. Either you washed out of training (sorry no benefits for you) or your in the reserve or guard and did a tour, (yes, some benefits for reservists of OI F and OEF) or your just full of crapola.

None if you were only in for 6 months, unless you were injured during those 6 months and that is the reason you are no longer in.

Depends on if you had a Honorable discharge. Then you could get a VA loan. Monthly benefits I don't believe you are eligible for.

It depends. Ask your recruiter or commanding officer or someone like that. They might be able to help you.
