What is meant by a military discharge in World War 2 classified as for the convenience of the government?
The convenience of the government was a catch-all basis for discharging a service member from military service for a number or reasons other than a dishonorable discharge. It basically stated that the government either no longer wanted or required your continued service and approved your separation from the service. Section 8 discharges (for those deemed mentally unfit for service) were considered a for the convenience of the government discharge but not all discharges for the convenience of the government held such stigma. These types of discharges also typically included reasons of family hardship, any physical or mental conditions that would impair duty, or if the service member was determined to be a conscientious objector. A discharge for the convenience of the government is considered an honorable discharge and service personnel discharged under this rule may be entitled to most if not all veterans benefits, depending on reason for separation. The general demobilization at the end of the war was regulated by AR 615-365 was considered a form of discharge for the convenience of the government since the service of the soldiers were no longer required.

Where can you find your army service certificate number?

Do you go to jail if you quit the Marines?
It depends.There are several ways out of your enlistment contract.For regular enlisted:You can deros - your enlistment is up and you simply leave the service to return to the civilian world. By far, this is the most common exit from military service.You can get a Section 8 Medical/Psychological discharge - With Iraq and Afghanistan and the huge number of injuries both wars have brought, this is becoming more common. Either the service member is not able to perform his duties, is undeployable, or it is considered for the good of the service.Dishonorable Discharge - This is typically done for the good of the service, or the SMs inability to adapt, and often results from Courts Marshall or Article 15 proceedings. Typically, this results from criminal activity and conviction of the SM.General Discharge - Issued as Under Honorable or Under Dishonorable Conditions. This typically results from Article 15 proceedings, but not typically as a result of criminal actions perpetrated by the SM. The Trainee Discharge Program (if still in place) is a good example of how this has been used.One last, slightly rare form of discharge is the Hardship Discharge - A Hardship Discharge is often granted to SMs who have difficult personal and/or family situations that require the immediate attention of the SM such as family deaths, prolonged family illnesses, etc.
What does 2 days lost under lapel button issued aw 107 on your fathers discharge paper?
The Lapel Button is the Honorable Discharge pin. The soldiers called it a "ruptured duck". Anything which took flight in a big hurry during the war was said to take off like a ruptured duck. Then when they saw the pins, which were not too artistic, depicting a somewhat potbellied eagle in flight, they naturally called it a ruptured duck. AW 107 is Article of War number 107. The Articles of War are the military laws which govern a soldiers conduct. AW 107 specifies that time a soldiers spends in the guardhouse or the brig, or time when he is AWOL, does not count toward his obligated time of service. This did not matter much in WWII because all soldiers were in "for the duration", until the war was won. It was mentioned on discharge papers in case the soldier returned to military service or continued in other Federal employment, because the time lost under AW 107 would not count toward the years needed for retirement. It means the soldier got in some minor difficulty while in the service, nothing serious.
Can I change my General Discharge to a Honorable Discharge?
It depends on what your RE code is on your DD-214. If it's an RE-4, your chances are highly unlikely, unless you appeal your discharge. With it being general under honourable conditions, an RE-4 would seem a bit unlikely, however. Any RE-3 code renders you ineligible for reenlistment, but you can still be waivered in. Whether or not the ANG will grant you a waiver is dependent on a number of things that really only the recruiter will be able to determine, and, in turn, provide you with a definite answer.

You have been diagnosed with ptsd and you have a good military record can your commander discharge you with anything less than an honorable discharge?
if you have a number of write ups, article 15's etc than yes. Your best bet is to get into medical treatment on base, make your chain of command aware of your diagnosis, and consult with JAG about your legal recourse and options. a medical chapter is certainly better than a bad conduct discharge, if it's headed there. Explore what benefits you are entitled to under varios discharges, chapters, and disability provisions.
How do you find World War 2 records for a father who served in the Philippines and received an Honorable discharge because of illness and then was shipped back?
Go to the web site for the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. Fill out a standard form 180 with the requested information. You'll need the individuals service number. On July 12, 1973, a fire at the NPRC destroyed approximately 16-18 million Official Military Personnel Files. Good luck!!
If you get administratively separated from the Marine Corps can you join a different branch of service?
Check your DD214. At the top will be an "R Code" (Re-enlistment Code). There will be a number or letter there that will determine whether you may re-enlist. You also need to look at your type of discharge. If you were adminsitratively separated and received an Honorable you may be able to. But a general or OTH may make things difficult. If you were ADSEPed for drug use or other disciplinary reasons maybe you should reconsider trying to reenlist.
