Thanks to all who have served for us! ________________________________ From: Kennedy, Jim To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Wed Nov 11 09:35:01 2009 Subject: RE: To All my fellow Vets.....Happy Veterans' Day! Veteran refers to someone that has served active duty. That is my definition anyway, and I think it is pretty much the common accepted definition. 180 days of active duty is the benchmark from the Feds for many ‘Veteran’ benefits.
I am NOT belittling a reservist, they make huge sacrifices themselves and as the last 9 years have proven they can go active a lot. I hold them in the same high regard as active duty. Just different terms to describe who they are.

Can someone please define “Veteran� for me - it means at some point being full-time military and 8 years of just reserves or NG doesn’t count, right? Sometimes the topic of veteran comes up and my wife and I have a little discussion, but there’s no way it’s the same because part time mean you don’t have to deal with most of the same issues the real servicemen go through. The only “real� thing about NG/Reserves is the 16 weeks of basic training and getting to blow stuff up a few times a year if you’re 11C (mortars). Oh, and MRE’s one weekend a month and two weeks a year. Driving Gama Goats too, but now I digress… Anyhow, happy Veteran’s day to those of you who had to put up with true hardship in terms of sacrificing civilian life among other things! My dad was regular Army – arty - for the Vietnam years (two tours!) and then NG afterward. A brother went full time for many years too, crazy bastages. I could never get myself to go full-time, but I sure as hell appreciate those that do. Dave Lum ARNG, 1983 -1991, E5 (11C) 41st IB, Oregon From: Andrew S.
