What is the easiest way to get out of the army with a general or honorable discharge?

Answer 1

Serve the time one enlisted for.

AnswerYes, but that'll only get you an Honorable discharge, assuming you kept your nose clean throughout your enlistment. That's the discharge everyone wants, or at least SHOULD want--it provides the full benefit of your service.

If you want a general discharge...I guess you could smoke some weed, self-refer yourself for drug treatment, then smoke some more weed while you're in there. They'll class you as a "rehabilitation failure" and kick you out, probably with a general. Then again, no one in their right mind would WANT a general discharge. It's not a good thing.

...

Actually, if you keep your nose clean and pass your PT tests, you can be chaptered out with an honorable discharge for failure to meet body fat standards (chapter 18). Failure to meet body fat standards is an honorable discharge, but, again, you MUST pass the PT test. So have a cheeseburger!

Answer 2

Finish your time of enlistment, hopefully without any serious disciplinary actions. Believe me , a less than Honorable discharge will affect the rest of your life. Even a General Discharge Under Honorable Conditions can be prejudicial to your future success.

Answer 3

You can simply not show up to your UTAs, although this would be a bit of a gamble... while this would normally net a General Discharge, it is possible to get an OTH if they decide they want to make an example of you.

Answer 4

Fail a drug test for cocaine or get caught smoking spice. General Under Honorable discharge occurs from that.

Answer 5

Complete your enlistment contract, or become ill or injured enough in the performance of your duty to obtain a medical discharge.

Answer 6

Do what you're supposed to do and stay out of trouble. It's not very difficult.
