What is para 5-37 ar 635-200 spd kmn on DD214 mean?

Answer 1

10 to one you were traumatized in some fashion during military service. At the time a 5-37 meant an expiditious discharge, you could not collect unemployment because if the ARMY didn't want you neither did anyone else. there was no such thing as PTSD at the time so you were incurable, as far as the ARMY goes. There was NO disiplenary action taken otherwise you would have received a different type of discharge. It is just a way of sweeping you undere the carpet but it would automatically entitle you to disability benefits for being UNEMPLOYABLE.
