However, based on US Code 38 U.S. Code § 4211 he is not an Eligible Veteran (as he did not have 180 or more days on Active Duty not including training) Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 31 at 2018 11:12 AM 2018-12-31T11:12:21-05:00 2018-12-31T11:12:21-05:00 SFC Private RallyPoint Member 4248590 <div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-292211"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image"> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rallypoint.com%2Fanswers%2Fi-have-a-relative-who-did-not-complete-army-bootcamp-what-s-the-definitive-source-us-code-usmj-etc-that-states-he-is-not-a-veteran%3Futm_source%3DFacebook%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_campaign%3DShare%20to%20facebook' target="_blank" class='social-share-button facebook-share-button'><i class="fa fa-facebook-f"></i></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=I+have+a+relative+who+did+not+complete+Army+bootcamp.+What%27s+the+definitive+source+%28US+Code%2C+USMJ%2C+etc.%29+that+states+he+is+NOT+a+veteran%3F&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rallypoint.com%2Fanswers%2Fi-have-a-relative-who-did-not-complete-army-bootcamp-what-s-the-definitive-source-us-code-usmj-etc-that-states-he-is-not-a-veteran&amp;via=RallyPoint" target="_blank" class="social-share-button twitter-custom-share-button"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a> <a href="mailto:?subject=Check this out on RallyPoint!&body=Hi, I thought you would find this interesting:%0D%0AI have a relative who did not complete Army bootcamp.
