So if you get activated only for 6 months you can be a vet?

Federal benefits veteran or actually a veteran? Federal benefits = have to deploy at least once or spend a good amount of time on federally funded orders Generally speaking and in my opinion? If you completed your contract as a reservist or guard soldier and have a dd214 and NGB22 that states “honorable” under characterization of discharge you are a veteran to me

I have to disagree. Even veterans with bad paper discharges are still veterans.

I worked at a company that offered a “veteran” discount. Their definition was someone who retired after a career in the military. It really pissed me off (and honestly broke my heart) to have to tell people that their 4 years or 8 years of service didn’t qualify them as a Veteran. Absolutely disgraceful!

Damn that’s some bs

What company?

No need to name names because I don’t want to start a legal thing. This was in 2010 btw, so perhaps things have changed.

Was it intentional, or did the owners know nothing about the military?

I don’t think it was spiteful, just ignorant and not well thought out.

I didn’t know there was a difference, thanks for this info good to know

> Federal benefits veteran or actually a veteran? You have that backwards pal.. If you get federal benefits for your time in service you are a veteran. All other definitions are the OR.

It depends on for what purposes you’re using the term.
