Yes. Having an Other Than Honorable discharge does not bar you from getting a Federal Job. They may scrupulously ask you further questions but it does not disqualify you. I know this because I work for the Federal Government and received an OTH several years ago. And I specifically stated on my application the type of discharge.

NO! The majority of veterans' benefits are NOT available to individuals who receive an other than honorable conditions discharge, including the Montgomery GI Bill and (in most cases) VA healthcare benefits.

Does a navy person who received a less than honorable discharge still receive a flag?

Yes, but not for members with Bad Conduct/Dishonorable. Members with and OTH (Other Than Honorable Discharges) are still eligible and can receive a burial flag. There are no laws that prevent someone from purchasing and draping a casket with a flag however one will not be provided military honors by the guard to fold and present it to the next of kin if you have a dishonorable discharge. You must have at least an Honorable or OTH discharge.

Explain what it means to get an Honorable discharge with a pattern of misconduct?

Getting an Honorable discharge with a pattern of misconduct means that the service member's overall service record and performance have been positive, but there were instances of misconduct that were not severe enough to warrant a less favorable discharge. It reflects a mixed record of both good and poor behavior during the service but still results in the individual receiving an Honorable discharge.

Does a honorable discharge disqualify you from being a police?

Honorable discharges are legitimate for any job, including law enforcement agencies. That being said, if you were discharged for incompetent or illegal actions, the police may recognize and disqualify you for that. But, in general, an honorable discharge is still considered "leaving on good terms".

Simply, he wasn't. He had a Court-Marshall for molesting a child, but was still given an Honorable Discharge.


Is being retired from the military the same as being honorably discharged from the military?

Retirement nets you an honourable discharge, but not all honourably discharged personnel are retirees. If you enlist for three, four, etc. years, perform your duties like you're supposed to, and decide not to reenlist, you're discharged when your contract expires. You receive an honourable discharge based on the character of your service. Someone who retires still receives such a discharge, but now we're talking about someone who has reenlisted multiple times, and will be collecting a pension.


How Long Does it take for a general under honorable condition to upgrade to a honorable discharge?

It doesn't. The only way for a General (under honorable conditions) discharge to be upgraded is to go before the Board of appeals. Even then, your chances of getting an upgrade are slim (less than 1%) Even in the best of situations, if you did successfully appeal and get an upgrade, it would still be on your records because that (Honorable) was not the original characterization of discharge, and there is a code that identifies it as such. The above answer is partially correct. The characterization of service does not automatically upgrade to Honorable...ever. Members can apply to the Discharge Review Board (DRB) for their respective service to be considered for a change of characterization. Upgrades are few and far between.

Do you get any benefits if u completed your first term in the military and was cour marshaled on 2nd enlistment?

If you completed your first term in the military and were subsequently court-martialed during your second enlistment, it is unlikely that you would receive any benefits. The military generally provides benefits to honorable or general discharge recipients, and a court-martial usually results in a less favorable discharge status, such as a dishonorable discharge. Dishonorable discharges typically result in the loss of many military benefits.
