VETERAN'S PREFERENCE
Five-point veteran’s preference is granted to veterans who receive passing scores for an entrance class and who were
discharged under honorable conditions from active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces during a war, or in a peacetime
campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized, including the following wartime periods:
06/27/50 - 01/31/55 (Korean Conflict); during the period of more than 180 consecutive days, any part of which occurred
between 01/31/55 and 10/15/76 (including the Vietnam era), not including active duty for training in Reserves or National
Guard; and from 08/02/90 - 01/02/92 (Gulf War). If your service began after October 15, 1976, you must have received a
Campaign Badge, or Expeditionary Medal. Campaigns or expeditions for which such medals have been authorized include
El Salvador, Lebanon, Granada, Panama, Southwest Asia, Somalia, Haiti, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Medal holders
and Gulf War veterans who originally enlisted after September 7, 1980, (or began active duty on or after October 14, 1982,
and have not previously completed 24 months of continuous active duty) must have served continuously for 24 months
or the full period called or ordered to active duty. Note: If your DD-214 does not provide proof of entitlement for
preference, you must obtain an amended DD-214 or other written documentation showing award of Armed Forces
Expeditionary Medal.
Should you wish to receive the veteran’s preference points, check the space provided and attach a copy of your DD-214
which verifies your qualification to receive preference.
