Vets Not Subject To Drill Pay Cuts
Ex servicemen enrolled in the national guard are no longer subject to deductions of armory and drill pay from VA education or on the job training benefits. An interpretation of a 78th congress statute excludes drill pay from productive labor. A war department ruling allows a guard member to regain reserve standing after separation without new medical exams, within age limits, within 60 days of discharge. Reservists may resume with highest rank held.
