To give you another example - I was in the military for eight years. During that time, I would have qualified. Then I got out with a normal honorable discharge back in '04. Even though I'm a veteran (disabled at that) I no longer qualified to use that link the day I left. But wait! I got a job as a government contractor soon after. All of a sudden I qualified again. Unfortunately, I quit my job yesterday. I no longer qualify.
The CAC/Military ID really is a good litmus test. If you have one, you're golden. If not, then I can't think of a reason you would qualify using the DoD/MWR criteria.
This was part of the conversation I had with the employee from Petersons the other day. That's actually how the subject of them upgrading the library portals came up. Once they do the upgrade, we'll all be good for as long as that link works.
Thank you Justin for explaining that! I have always been confused that they don't explicitly include/exclude veterans in the wording on the sign-up page.
About your job, my best wishes on your next endeavour!
