CCW is shorthand for "carry concealed Weapon". It generally refers to a sidearm that is suited for concealed carry. These would be smaller and flatter than most sidearms. Nearly any sidearm CAN be carried concealed, but some are more readily caried in that fashion.

What is the difference between a personal protection permit and a ccw permit?

It depends on what you mean, but also, what state you are in. I've never heard of a personal protection permit. A CCW permit is a permit to carry a handgun on your person for personal protection, however, it should be noted that all states in the U.S. don't issue CCW. Some states, such as Tennessee, issue "handgun carry permits" and concealment is not required by law.

Can you get a concealed carry permet with a other than honorable discharge?

I do know of someone who received a CCW with an OTH from the Army Reserve. However, he had an Honourable Discharge from the Regular Army prior to receiving his OTH from the Reserve, and this was in the State of North Carolina, which conducts a very extensive background check before issuing a CCW. If you're able to purchase a handgun without the transaction being denied, then you should be able to get a CCW.
