MULTIPLE
CHOICE

a.A 32-year-old male who has been dishonorably discharged from the Army
b.A 50-year-old female who retired from the Navy

d.A 22-year-old female who is currently serving in the Air Force
ANS: B
Legally, a veteran is an individual who has served in the active military, naval,
or air service and who was discharged or released under conditions other than
dishonorable. Any individual who completed service for any branch of armed
forces is a veteran as long as they were not dishonorably discharged. Personnel
serving in the National Guard are considered to be
part-time employees and not active duty, full-time personnel.

3. A client is describing the time period that he served in the National Guard.
Which statement would he be most likely to make?
a. “I completed monthly drills and 2-week annual trainings.”
b. “I achieved the rank of officer and was promoted to the U.S. Army.”
c. “I served overseas based on decisions made by the federal government.”
d. “I selected Japan as my destination for my overseas tour of duty.”
ANS: A
Personnel serving in the National Guard or Reserves are considered part-time
employees. The key difference among them is that the Reserves report to the
federal government, whereas the National Guard is administered by each state
(e.g., the Pennsylvania National Guard is called into action by the governor of

Pennsylvania). These individuals serve no more than 39 days a year, unless
called into action. Usually, their service consists of monthly drills and 2-week
annual trainings. Reservists may be called very suddenly to active duty (full-
time) for deployments, requiring that they leave their family, regular job, and
community for a time.
The National Guard and Army are two separate entities—promotion does
not change the military that is being served.

Veterans—and sometimes their survivors and dependents—are eligible for VA
benefits when they fulfill two requirements related to service and separation. (1)
Service: they must have served in active duty for 24 consecutive months or for
a full period of call (Reserves and Guard). There are some exceptions to the

dishonorable.
