The normal questions from the VA during those years was usually, "how many days active duty, discounting active duty FOR TRAINING...?" However, times have changed, contact them again and see if government policies have been re-adjusted. After all, the Guard has been used heavily for over-seas deployments these past few years, see what benefits exist from the government today.
This is quite a debatable question. You are a veteran of the NG, but do you qualify for certain VA benefits? The VA will always have a different answer and can explain to you what you actually qualify for.
One year? Unlikely. Normally members of the Guard serve 6 to 8 yrs. of obligated service.

Contact the VA on this topic; because their policies change. During the 1960s, 1970s, applications often said, (as an example) "must have served for 30 days or longer/or 60 days or longer/or 90 days or longer; on active duty." And sometimes those sentences had this on the end of them, "...on active duty NOT FOR TRAINING."
What qualifies a National Guardsman as a veteran?
No. H.R. 1025 passed the House in 2012 but has not yet passed the Senate. Currently, you are only considered a veteran if you served on a Title 10 tour of duty. 99% of all National Guard active duty is served on Title 32. H.R. 1025 won't cost the government a penny, but until it becomes law, service in the National Guard does not make a person a veteran.
