[QUOTE="ByrdC130, post: 1805118, member: 4993"] The rules have changed alot over the past 10 years or so. Back during Desert Storm/Shield, if you were Guard or Reserve, you had to be activated for 90+ days to get Vet status. Now if you go to boot camp for 1 day, Guard-Reservers-Active Duty, you now qualify for Veterens Status. This means they now qualify for VA home loans and those kinds of VA benifits. VA health care coverage is now based on income as to how much co-pay you could be charged for a non service connected issue. And if you have other health coverage, the VA and that insurance pays for your health care. But like I said, a lot has changed over the years and most of what was ,isn't anymore, espically if you served in the last 10 years. I highly encourage everyone who has served in the military to go to the web site or to the VA center and ask! You earned this benifit. And the quality of the facility and doctors is a lot better than what I was expecting. My wait times are a heck of a lot shorter than at my civi doc's office. Another great place for info and help is the Okla Dept of Veteran Affairs on the second floor of the VA Med Center. [/QUOTE]
