Lisa, et al,
I got this from Cynowa when he worked for me:
1) Cynowa was on active duty as a U.S. Marine Corps recruit for about 8 weeks.
2) He was injured in Basic Training. Messed up his knee.
3) His DD-214 would indicate the number of days of his military service and the character of his discharge.
4) By the way, under the definition of what a veteran is in the U.S. Department of Veteran of Affairs, you must have served on active duty more than 181 days. He did not, so he is not not a veteran and not eligible for VA benefits.
