Non- Combat Veterans.

I joined the Air Force Reserve in 2010 and just got out in 2018. Never deployed or anything. I never considered myself a veteran but my buddy told me about a helmet to hardhat program and I called them thinking I wouldn't be eligible not having deployed ever. They said I was good and that's kind of made me realize I guess I am a veteran. I volunteered the same as everyone else, my unit just never got called up.

So that's my rather long way of saying don't feel guilty about your status.
