No, typically you cannot receive an honorable discharge after being AWOL (Absent Without Leave). AWOL status can lead to disciplinary actions, including a general or other-than-honorable discharge. However, if circumstances surrounding the AWOL are considered mitigating, it may be possible to receive a different type of discharge, but it usually requires a review process. Each case is evaluated individually based on the specific circumstances and the service member's overall record.

No, "honorable" and "under honorable conditions" are not the same.
