This is question 55 on the FAFSA.

The student is a veteran if he/she:

• Served in active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard), or served as a member of the National Guard or Reserves and was called to service for purposes other than training, or was a cadet or midshipman at one of the service academies, and
• Was released under a condition other than dishonorable.

If the student is not a veteran now but will be one by June 30, 2008, the answer should be Yes.
