“I believe you only get an ID card if you retire after 20, are in the reserves/guard or are disabled.”
As long as you did 2 or more years active duty time, you qualify as a vet.
GO to your VA office, bring your DD214 and get enrolled.
Thanks I’ll check into that!

Only Veterans who are eligible for VA medical benefits will receive the card.
I’m not eligible for VA medical benefits due to income.
They sent me a letter last year to enroll because I was a combat veteran so I did. Then they sent me a letter telling me I wasn’t eligible because I made too much money.
That’s the Federal Government for you...
