I was wondering if I spend 180 active in title 32 for the covid 19 pandemic will that count for my veteran status after 180 days assuming it lasts that long

Title 32 orders of at least 31 days give Guard members access to numerous federal benefits, such as Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH); lower-cost Tricare coverage; Department of Veterans Affairs benefits like the GI Bill or Home Loan Guaranty program.

My reading of the VA regulations say yes, that Title 32 orders if they are over 24 months or you complete the duration of the orders, as long as one day is in a war time period will get you full Veteran Status. That should include everything since the first Gulf War.
