Chris Robin 5739776 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My mom is an Army/Army Reserves veteran. I&#39;m trying to figure out if she qualifies for a VA home loan through her Reserves time after being denied through her active duty time in the Army. <br /><br />She enlisted in the Army Reserves in March &#39;80. Did her basic and schooling and signed up for the DEP i. Enlisted in the Army for 3 years in Oct &#39;80. Completed 23 months (including 18 mths overseas) and was honorably discharged. Her oath of extension of enlistment says she was in the Individual Ready Reserve from August &#39;80 to Oct &#39;86 and extended it 6 months to April &#39;87. Her discharge orders say she was honorably discharged from the Ready Reserve in April &#39;87.<br /><br />My 2 questions are: does her active duty years in the Army count towards the &quot;180 continuous days of active duty&quot; VA loan requirement for Reserve veterans? And does her time after being discharged from the Army in the Ready Reserve count towards the 6 years of honorable service? <br /><br />Thank you for any advice/insight! 2020-04-04T14:47:53-04:00 Chris Robin 5739776

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Was she a reservist while overseas?<br />They do have Army Reserve units overseas, well they did. <br />Then when he Reserve time ended, she could have been transferred to the IRR while still over there. You might want to ask her. She would know

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>She had more than six months active duty, I would think she qualifies
