An honorable discharge is the highest form of departure from military service. You get everything. (Did you mean dishonorable?)
You're entitled to VA benefits and service related disability benefits (if applicable), but you won't continue receiving the benefits you received while you were on active duty.
Absolutely not.
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.
I believe you would be entitled to most benefits. Best to ask the V.A. 1-800-827-1000
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.
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.
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.
It depends on what type of Governmental help you are referring to and whether the Marine has received an honorable discharge in the past, previous to his Dishonorable Discharge. If a Marine in his or her 1st enlistment receives a DD then the Marine will lose many benefits. If however the Marine served one enlistment and received an Honorable Discharge and then reenlists he will be entitled to all benefits from that first enlistment. But you still need to speak to a Veterans Affairs Representative for details.
Yes, you can. Since the Army reserve is still a part of the military it will still give you the military experience and the honorable discharge. You may even deploy to Iraq/Afghanistan. The Coast Guard is also a branch of the military. You may go to the Middle East area with them as well, or do CT or drug operations near South America.
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.
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".
If your retirement application is not approved after 30 years of service in the Air Force, you cannot apply for retirement benefits. However, you may be eligible for other forms of compensation or benefits depending on the circumstances of your discharge and any applicable laws or regulations. It is recommended to consult with a legal advisor or reach out to the relevant authorities for specific guidance in your situation.
There'll still be a reentry (RE) code on your DD-214. If you have an RE4 (or any variation thereof), you're rendered ineligible to reenter the military.
Simply, he wasn't. He had a Court-Marshall for molesting a child, but was still given an Honorable Discharge.
