With rare exceptions ( called Mustangs or Mavericks) who are raised-up-from the ranks ex NCO types, Officers do not (enlist) They are commissioned, and come from various sources, the Service Academies, R.O.T.C., OCS, and in some cases direct commissions to such specialized roles as Chaplains and Medical Officers- who might walk in ( so to speak) in a commissioned officer"s role- most Doctors are either Captains or Majors, for example. As Lt. Choi was a commissioned officer, well the term Enlist would not apply.

Because under DADT, gays were no longer banned from serving.
Can same-sex marriage result in an honorable discharge from the military?
No. Whereas during the US military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy, it would be viewed as a violation and cause for discharge, that policy was repealed effective September 20, 2011. Since the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT), homosexual conduct is not a reason to be separated. If someone was discharged under DADT, and did not recieve an Honorable characterization of service, they can apply to have this upgraded. The Navy Discharge Review Board (NDRB) is expediting these applications. If no misconduct was involved, the characterization will change to Honorable, the narrative reason for separation will change to Secretarial Authority, and the re-enlistment (RE) code will change to an appropriate RE-1 code for the service (USN or USMC).

Did Obama change the law for gay people in the military?
Yes and no. President Obama was not in favor of "Don't Ask/ Don't Tell" (DADT). And he was not alone; attitudes about gay people in the military had been changing steadily for more than a decade. Some Republicans (for example, the "Log Cabin Republicans") and a number of Democrats advocated for repealing the law; and while some conservative members of congress objected, a majority of the members agreed that times had changed, and it was appropriate to end DADT. In late 2010, Congress passed the repeal bill and President Obama signed it into law.
