Basic and individual training do not contribute to the 181 day requirement.  HOWEVER, a DD 214 that indicated Texas as Home of Record/Place of entry, with less than 181 days current active service, BUT with PRIOR active duty service may count, as long as the service adds up to 181 days.
3.  Honorable OR GENERAL discharge UNDER HONORABLE conditions- nothing else counts. OTHER THAN HONORABLE does not make someone eligible for the benefit.
