You are not presently able to receive your COE for the purpose of applying for a VA Guaranteed Home Loan as stated by several previous answers. If your intent was to buy a home with no money down, you could apply for a USDA home loan so long as you buy out toward Gardendale, Stanton, Pleasant Farms, essentially the outskirts of Midland. You must also be aware that USDA has an income limit and for a one member household would be capped at $46,200 with a direct USDA RD Home Loan. Don't lose sight of the American Dream of Homeownership that you have vowed your service to this country. God Bless!
