Denied
The veteran did not meet the basic eligibility criteria for educational assistance under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code due to insufficient active duty service.
The deciding factor: The veteran's discharge was not due to a service-connected disability or other qualifying conditions, and he did not serve the required three years of continuous active duty.
