you lose access to any potential benefits with a dishonorable discharge, HOWEVER, you CAN apply to have your discharge upgraded to other than honorable, general, honorable etc.
You cannot get an honorable discharge with patterns of misconduct under Chapter 14-12b. You can only receive a General Discharge or Other than Honorable discharge. You can try to have it upgraded once you are released by the military by contacting your branches' review board agency.
For any discharge of Honorable or General Under Honorable Conditions the answer is Yes. And in SOME CASES Less Than or Other Than Honorable you can as well.
Yes, it is possible to get into Officer Candidate School (OCS) with a general discharge, but it may depend on the specific circumstances surrounding the discharge and the policies of the branch of the military you are applying to. A general discharge under honorable conditions is generally viewed more favorably than other types of discharges, but candidates still need to meet other eligibility criteria, such as educational requirements and fitness standards. It's essential to consult with a recruiter for guidance on your specific situation and any potential waivers that may be needed.
"General under honorable conditions" is a discharge classification from the military that indicates a service member's performance was satisfactory but not exemplary. It typically applies to those who have met the basic standards of military service but may have had disciplinary issues or other factors that prevent a fully honorable discharge. This type of discharge can affect benefits and further employment opportunities but is generally more favorable than a dishonorable or other-than-honorable discharge.
BCNR- Board of Corrections and Naval Review handles the changes to the discharges in the navy. The other branches have their own review boards. That being said its darn near futile to do it. There has to be misconduct on the government or people involved to get a BCD upgraded. It is not automatically upgraded to honorable. The case has to go up for review each time you want an upgrade.
If you have an other-than-honorable discharge (general or dishonorable) from the military, you are generally ineligible for a law enforcement job.
A DD Form 258N, also known as the "Navy Discharge Certificate," is a document that officially certifies the discharge of a member from the Navy. It serves as a record of the conditions of discharge, the service member's rank, and the reasons for discharge. This form is important for veterans to access benefits and services after leaving military service. It is typically issued for administrative discharges, including honorable, general, and other types of discharges.
Basically impossible--you have to tick off a lot of people to get anything lower than an honorable discharge from the military because the paper trail is so onerous. (One of my roommates at Fort Hood got thrown out on a general, and he left us a gift--the stack of paperwork they used to justify a less-than-honorable discharge. It was two inches thick, and really entertaining reading.) If you screwed up badly enough to get put out with a general discharge, the Army won't want you. Neither will the other three services.
Anything other than an honorable discharge is undesirable. There is no official discharge characterized as "undiserable."

You can't discharge a car or any other asset. You can only discharge a debt (money owed).
