“ALL Honorable Discharged Vets with 180 days or the new formula 24 months qualify for burial in a Veterans Cemetery overseen by the VA or by some states.”

I simply found it unusual that he would be eligible for VA benefits with the “Not eligible for reenlistment” notation on his DD-214. I knew him. He was not a good person. I could not, at the time and still cannot understand why he was not discharged with a ‘less-than-honorable’ discharge.

The only time I used my VA benefits was for a VA home loan in the early 70s. Otherwise, I have used only medical insurance with the premiums being paid by me.

It can happen. He possibly could have had a lot of NJP's. But IIRC it takes a Court Martial conviction to award anything less than Honorable DC. The Honorable DC would be possible and still a person still not be recommended for retention noted on the DD 214.
