ANG to veteran status


Recommended Posts

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?

180 days of active duty time outside of training (i.e. you get a deployment tasking for 6 months) during your 20 year career.

So if I do 180 consecutive days active duty in the federal level, I could have veteran status, but after 20 years of service?
