The soldier qualified as a Marksman with the Model 1903 Springfield Rifle, under the standards prescribed in 1941. The Springfield was the standard US rifle from 1903 until the M1 Garand was adopted just before WWII. The Springfield was a five shot, internal box magazine, bolt action rifle, a fine weapon, and the official US rifle of WWI (though may troops in WWI were armed with an "American Enfield"). The M1 was adopted after years of development just before WWII, but was not always available to troops in training, who learned to shoot with the older model. The term "thirty ought six" refers to the fact that the .30 caliber cartridge for the 1903 Springfield was redesigned in 1906. This was the cartridge fired by US troops in WWI, WWII and Korea, used in the 1903 Springfield, the M1, and the M14, and also in the .30 caliber machine guns.

Is chp 11 an honorable discharge?

The way I was explained the condition of this Discharge, is that it is UNCHARACTERIZED, and most times "UNDER HONORABLE CONDITIONS", as to say Honorable and does not bar you from reentry into the Military after a due course of time. Supposedly, it can become honorable under certain conditions, mayhaps after 6 months of service with the Military. In some cases, as when a commendable soldier cannot pass a specific training, he/she can become eligible for the General "Under Honorable" Discharge, upon exiting the Military. After 6 Months of Military Service, one can become eligible for Veteran Status, gaining government due Veteran Benefits. SPC MEDINA


If you received a reckless driving conviction as well being on your best behavior after 1 year what are the chances of getting the Honorable discharge granted?

If you are referring to an Honorable Discharge from the military after having been convicted of reckless driving - I would say your chances are probably pretty good if the rest of your military service was exemplary. At the very least you might receive a General DIscharge Under Honorable Conditions.
