Papote Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I understand that an Air National Guard member isn't a veteran and isn't entitled to Veteran benefits unless they complete 20 years of service or are called to active duty by the Federal Service under Title 10 I believe for a minimum amount of months. What is the minimum amount of active duty time required to earn veteran status and what other ways can an ANG serviceman become a veteran? Is veteran status awarded after the honorable discharge?

Vertigo Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 180 days of active duty time outside of training (i.e. you get a deployment tasking for 6 months) during your 20 year career. http://www.nationalguard.mil/News/Article-View/Article/1038989/guard-and-reserve-members-receive-veteran-status/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
