Just verified SCRA, is from the first day of active duty to 180 days after leaving active duty. MLA is after 30 days of consecutive active duty.Okay really dumb question but I just accepted and signed my selection for U.S. Navy officer document and ship out for OCS in August. My question is: At what point am I officially a member of the military? I only ask because one of the military benefits I'd be interested in taking advantage of is SCRA + MLA. Would I have to wait until after I get a commission, at what point do I qualify?
