It depends entirely on the circumstances of the discharge, the number of applicants applying, the ratio of the number of applicants as compared to the number of available positions, and internal regulations of the department. Also bear in mind that different departments have different standards and different reasons for those standards. Long story short, if you have a general discharge from the military, be honest and upfront about it with the background investigator and apply to multipledepartments as to find the best mutual fit for you.

Yes you can, But you have to be open about it. Also, make sure that everything else in your background packet is in line. It also depends on what your discharge was for.

Is chp 11 an honorable discharge?

The way I was explained the condition of this Discharge, is that it is UNCHARACTERIZED, and most times "UNDER HONORABLE CONDITIONS", as to say Honorable and does not bar you from reentry into the Military after a due course of time. Supposedly, it can become honorable under certain conditions, mayhaps after 6 months of service with the Military. In some cases, as when a commendable soldier cannot pass a specific training, he/she can become eligible for the General "Under Honorable" Discharge, upon exiting the Military. After 6 Months of Military Service, one can become eligible for Veteran Status, gaining government due Veteran Benefits. SPC MEDINA
