The veteran's appeal is denied as he does not meet the requirements for basic eligibility for educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code.
The deciding factor: The veteran had no active duty after November 1966 and did not have service on active duty after October 19, 1984. The regulations dealing with the administration of the Chapter 34 program were rescinded as they no longer had any legal effect for training pursued after December 31, 1989.
