I was talking to a guy who said he uses his VA card to get ten percent off of what he buys and Lowes and Home Depot. He asked if I did the same thing, and I told him I wasn't eligible for VA benefits since I was only in for five years. He said he was only in for 4 years and he gets them. I just looked online and read that the only requirement is that you have to have served 24 months and not have a dishonorable discharge. Is this right?
My goal is to get the ten percent discount. I don't need or want the medical part of it, but then I don't know what's there either. So maybe that's a bonus. I have a great medical, dental plan through the hospital my wife works at already.
I was in the Marine Corps from 83 to 88. My MOS was maintenance management and I spent my last 32 months assigned to the Marine Security Guard Detachment guarding two different US Embassies overseas. No combat, no injuries or any problems at all related to my service. Honorable discharge, and off to civilian life when I was done.
