IIRC, to be considered a "veteran" you must have completed at least 90 consecutive days on active duty. If Ra^ther spent less than 90 days in MCRD, he would not be consider a veteran. And, as many previous posters have stated, he cannot call himself a Marine since he did not graduate from recruit training. One must graduate recruit training and receive the Eagle, Globe & Anchor before being considered a Marine.

If he continues to insist on calling himself a Marine, I suggest he present his DD214 as proof or at least sign and submit an SF180 and release his records to the public.

I’m pretty sure it was 180 days.
