Kansas, have your Mom get a points summary RIP from her Reserve unit. Even though she was serving time on "Active Duty" she is still technically owned by a reserve unit. If this RIP shows at least 8 yrs of "Active Duty Service" and she is STILL serving in the reserves, then you qualify for a Presidential. IF her discharge goes thru prior to you submitting paperwork for the Nom, (even with the 8 yrs of Active Duty Service) and she doesn't have the the required points for retirement (20 "good years" --which is different than the active duty service listed above)then you are not eligible, because she must be STILL serving. If she has the 20 good years and is eligible for a reserve retirement, then you are still eligible even if discharge goes thru prior to applying for Nom.
My advice is to apply for the nom before Mom is discharged. Send in the Points Summary RIP, showing she is still in the active reserves and highlighting the 8 yrs Active Duty service, and send a photocopy of her military ID card. Admissions will review the paperwork, and if you are eligible for the Nom, you will be granted it.
