The Veteran's claim for educational assistance under Chapter 30, Title 38, U.S. Code was denied because she did not meet the service requirements and was discharged for convenience of the Government before completing her obligated period of active duty.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was discharged or released from active duty for a purpose considered to be for the convenience of the Government, prior to completing 30 months of a three-year enlistment, which did not satisfy the preliminary requirements for Chapter 30 eligibility.
