I beleive that 1 year of active duty (title 10) qualifies an individual to all legal veteran benefits including GI bill and VA home loan.

Unless it changed, I think it is 2 years. But the wisifying of the military it could be one day for all I know. In all honesty, I think anyone who signed the papers and served any time in the military should be able to be called a veteran........as long as it is honorable. I know of someone who was discharged after 10 months because of a bad case of cancer.....of course he still had the medical benefits until the cancer was cured. He was not retired or given any exit money.....not enough time, however in this case being called a veteran would be appropriate at least in my opinion.
