The answer is yes and no. It depends on what benefit you want to receive, the total time in service, and the character of your discharge.
Education (VA bill) is time limited Enrolling in health care is limited to priority level 7 and above (1-8) VA Loans are available There are many more, but these are the majors. |

Rganks for your reply.
I have a honorable discharge and spent three years in service. We do a lot of camping and would like to know if we can use the military campgrounds. |

Call the military campgrounds and ask if you can use them. Go to www.dogpile.com and type in military campgrounds. Here is a link to who can use the military campgrounds:
http://www.militarycampgrounds.us/index.php?option=com_...view&id=232&Itemid=2 Here is part of what is said: I've received many inquires asking "... am I allowed to use US Military Campgrounds?" These are usually from veterans who served a few years and have an honorable discharge. Sometimes it's from a retired civil service employee who worked for the Army, Navy, or USAF for 30+ years. And some of the inquires are from veterans who are 100% disabled. There's also been a lot of discussion on the various news groups about the 100% DAV authorized use issue. I attempted to do a little research and clear all of these issues up. The following are my findings. In a nut shell, 100%DAV is authorized at all US Military Campgrounds. Being an honorably discharged vet is not authorized, unless there is another circumstance that does authorize the veteran (retired, 100%DAV, etc). As with many issues when dealing with the government and the military, you're bound to get a variety of answers. I discovered the lists of authorized users that's published by the various military campgrounds greatly vary, are not the final word, are interpreted differently by campground employees, and most importantly, are not complete. Each military campground is (somewhat) independently ran and seems to establish their own list of authorized users. The Installation Commander usually has the final approval of who they allow to use "their" campground. If you can get past all of the personal opinions, the list of authorized users is actually regulated. Each of the military branches have a regulation listing who is an authorized user of MWR activities, which includes Outdoor Recreation facilities. The link above has a chart showing all who can use campgrounds. Grover |
