Yes, it is possible to have an Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge overturned, but the process can be complex. Individuals typically need to apply for a discharge upgrade through the appropriate military review board or board for correction of military records. This often involves providing evidence that the discharge was unjust or based on errors or extenuating circumstances. Success is not guaranteed, and the outcome depends on the specific circumstances and the board's criteria.
Depending on the state as long as you are able to work and actively seeking employment yes.

Yes, both OTH (Other Than Honorable) and Admin (Administrative) discharges from the Army receive paperwork showing their discharge. This paperwork is known as a Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) and it includes information about the type of discharge and the reason for it.
A Bad Conduct Discharge, as opposed to a Dishonorable Discharge, is considered a separation under conditions Other Than Honorable. With an OTH discharge, the Department of Veterans Affairs makes the determination as to whether the OTH was based on conditions which would result in the forfeit of any or all VA benefits. The more serious offenses, such as desertion, mutiny, spying, etc., will result in loss of all benefits.
Depends on their discharge. A General, Bad Conduct, or OTH won't bar them - an actual Dishonorable Discharge, which is the result of conviction under a military court martial - will.
No you have to have an honorable discharge, anything less will disqualify you for unemployment in cali
No.Recipients of OTH discharges are barred from reenlisting into any component of the Armed Forces (including the reserves), and are normally barred from joining theArmy National Guard or Air National Guard, except under rare circumstances that require exception-to-policy waivers. As of September 2006, all 50 states had policies barring the reenlistment of OTH discharge recipients.In addition, the majority of veterans' benefits are not available to individuals who receive an other than honorable conditions discharge, including the Montgomery GI Bill and (in most cases) VA healthcare benefits.
Yes, but not for members with Bad Conduct/Dishonorable. Members with and OTH (Other Than Honorable Discharges) are still eligible and can receive a burial flag. There are no laws that prevent someone from purchasing and draping a casket with a flag however one will not be provided military honors by the guard to fold and present it to the next of kin if you have a dishonorable discharge. You must have at least an Honorable or OTH 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.
that is not true as a marine who was dicharged for drug use i know that if you test positive in your first 180 of service you can only receive entry level separation with no characerization of service and after 180 days most likely an OTH other than "honorable" discharge or possibly a BCD bad conduct discharge i tested positive for cociane and got an OTH
Not it is not, with an other than honorable discharge you have been you can be dicharged (kicked out) for many reasons. These reasons being you conduct, not meeting weight standrads, testing positive fore a drug test, and many more. With an other than honorable discharge you also lose a good amount of your benefits including you gi bill. An honorable discharge is where you have served out your contract in the military whether it be 4 years active duty or 6 years in the reserves. In other words you want to shoot for an honorable discharge
An OTH doesn't necessarily impair you in pursuing a new career, but it can level some bias against you when it comes to employment. If you've completed one enlistment and you have a DD-214 with an RE1 to show for it before you got your OTH, it's easier to work around.
