Yes, a person who served in the military for only a few months and was discharged for medical reasons is still considered a veteran. Under the U.S. Veterans Administration (VA) guidelines, any person who has served on active duty in the armed forces of the United States and has been released under conditions other than dishonorable is considered to be a veteran.

Any individual who has served in the military for any period of time, even if it is only a few months, can be considered a veteran.

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
