Denied
The Veteran's active duty for training is considered entry level and skill training, not qualifying service for Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) education benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have the minimum 90 days of qualified active service required for Chapter 33 basic eligibility purposes.
