LILJIM Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I'm an Army brat. LOL I didnot join after school but kinda wish now I had. Always respect the ones that have & Dad always taught us to give it your all no matter what we do. You also seen he always did. Dad & his brothers served in Vietam, Korea-dad. I remember some storys they told & mostly the things they didnot talk about but you seen it in their eyes.

Skeet Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Not sure if I can actually count myself among those who have served and I mean absolutely no offense, but I have to ask the question: May I consider myself a veteran? Now I understand this is off-topic to a degree, but I would like to know. Yes, I know I never saw combat or anything of that nature and I understand I'm technically not a true vet. I just thought I'd ask. To those who have gone to Afghan. Iraq, or Iran, thank you for your service. 21 February 2012-21 May 2012, Navy bootcamp, Division 123, Medically Discharged Correction: I was given Errouneous Enlistment.

My feeling is if you didn't complete your boot then you weren't a actual military rank. Sounds harsh, but it is just my view. On the other hand if you receive any Military/VA compensation for your injury that had you discharged, then I would say Yes you are a veteran. Not sure how those things work anymore. But then again if you have a DD214 that says medically discharged, then you sir are a veteran. Sorry to hear of the situation
