The Board denied the appellant's eligibility for VA educational assistance under Chapter 1606, Title 10, United States Code due to his honorable discharge from the Marine Corps Reserve in February 1993.
The deciding factor: The appellant was not eligible for benefits because he did not meet the requirements of being a member of the Selected Reserve and drilling as a Reservist at the time of his application.
