In the case of an applicant who served in a Reserve or Guard component, active duty means that the applicant was called to federal active duty in a status other than active duty for training. VVA uses a standard of more than 180 days of active service (as shown on the “Total Active Service” or “Net Active Service This Period” line of the DD Form 214) as the test for “other than training” service. Chapters may not accept a membership application when the DD-214 shows 180 or fewer days of active duty. If in doubt, refer the application to the VVA Membership Department. All new membership applications sent to the National Office must include a copy of the veteran’s DD214.
