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.
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.
Yes. Having an Other Than Honorable discharge does not bar you from getting a Federal Job. They may scrupulously ask you further questions but it does not disqualify you. I know this because I work for the Federal Government and received an OTH several years ago. And I specifically stated on my application the type of discharge.
I believe you would be entitled to most benefits. Best to ask the V.A. 1-800-827-1000
Honorable discharges are legitimate for any job, including law enforcement agencies. That being said, if you were discharged for incompetent or illegal actions, the police may recognize and disqualify you for that. But, in general, an honorable discharge is still considered "leaving on good terms".
Simply, he wasn't. He had a Court-Marshall for molesting a child, but was still given an Honorable Discharge.
Retirement nets you an honourable discharge, but not all honourably discharged personnel are retirees. If you enlist for three, four, etc. years, perform your duties like you're supposed to, and decide not to reenlist, you're discharged when your contract expires. You receive an honourable discharge based on the character of your service. Someone who retires still receives such a discharge, but now we're talking about someone who has reenlisted multiple times, and will be collecting a pension.
It doesn't. The only way for a General (under honorable conditions) discharge to be upgraded is to go before the Board of appeals. Even then, your chances of getting an upgrade are slim (less than 1%) Even in the best of situations, if you did successfully appeal and get an upgrade, it would still be on your records because that (Honorable) was not the original characterization of discharge, and there is a code that identifies it as such. The above answer is partially correct. The characterization of service does not automatically upgrade to Honorable...ever. Members can apply to the Discharge Review Board (DRB) for their respective service to be considered for a change of characterization. Upgrades are few and far between.
An honorable discharge is the highest form of departure from military service. You get everything. (Did you mean dishonorable?)
You don't. To qualify for GI benefits, typically you are required to serve at least half of your contract time or receive a medical discharge. You qualify for nothing having never left training status. Sorry.
depends on the outcome, most likely not since the outcome of a court Marshall is bad if it ended your career and would result in a discharge with less than honorable conditions, but if the discharge was general, you still have a chance.
