The veteran's service in the Air National Guard is treated as active duty for training.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not serve on active duty between October 19, 1984 and July 1, 1985 or continuously for three years after June 30, 1985, which are required conditions for Chapter 30 educational benefits.
