Denied
The veteran's service did not meet the requirements for basic eligibility for VA educational assistance under Chapter 30, as she did not serve at least two years of continuous active duty.
The deciding factor: The veteran served less than two years of continuous active duty and therefore does not meet the criteria for eligibility under 38 C.F.R. § 21.7042(a)(2).
