	Military discharge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A military discharge is given when a member of the armed forces is released from his or her obligation to serve.
		Other than honorable discharges are usually only issued in cases where an individual is being discharged as a result of a particular infraction that would otherwise warrant punitive action and discharge (for example, drug use).
		Discharges occurring at the end of a term of service are almost never referred to as "administrative separations." In normal military parlance, an "administrative separation" is when an individual is being involuntarily released from service, either for misconduct or medical disability.

		These types of discharges are known as an “honorable” discharge and the person's benefits and service record are given out in accordance with their contract.
		Honorable discharges also include situations where a term of service ends at the order of a judge or court, a conflict ends and the unit is relieved from duty, or if someone has been denied a promotion two times in a row (this last occurrence tends to vary between the different branches).
		Anytime a person is given a military discharge that they consider to be unfair, they can challenge the discharge and either get their original status reinstated, with all the accompanying benefits, or get the promotion they were looking to receive in the first place.

	WorldNetDaily: Kerry's non-honorable discharge
		There is overwhelming evidence that the Navy gave John Kerry either a dishonorable discharge or an undesirable discharge – which is the equivalent of a dishonorable discharge without the felony conviction – and that, as a result of such discharge, he was stripped of all of his famous but questionable Navy awards and medals.
		The only logical conclusion is that the 1978 honorable discharge was a second discharge given to replace an earlier undesirable discharge under less-than-honorable conditions, as unfit for military service.
		Kerry could have received a dishonorable discharge, but that would have required a court martial and a felony conviction that might be harder to conceal, so the undesirable discharge is more likely.

	Vietnam Veterans Against the War: Military Counseling: Military Discharges
		Single parents can get an honorable discharge if the command is convinced that you will have trouble performing duties, will be absent frequently or be unavailable for “worldwide assignment,” but you haven't admitted that it has already affected your performance.
		An honorable discharge as “sole surviving son/daughter” can be yours if, after your enlistment, your sibling, father, mother, son or daughter was in the military and is POW/MIA or was killed or totally disabled as a result of military service.
		There are a lot of military regulations covering separations and discharges, and mistakes can cost you an Honorable, so, until you've read the regs or have talked to a military lawyer or GI counselor, don't even think that you can imagine the pitfalls hiding in the regs, and don't sign anything.

	BeldarBlog: Today's NY Sun article on Kerry's discharge status
		If Bush's discharge papers were dated 1978 (since he left the TANG in 1973 or so), I would be fairly certain that there would be intense interest in the apparent anamoly and he would have been questioned about why his discharge papers were dated several years after he left service.
		If we accept that his discharge was less than honorable, then his language in 1971 purports perfectly with the loss of his medals due to a less than honorable discharge and explains why he has to withhold his records and use "nuanced" language to explain how the medals suddenly reappeared.
		The UD was not considered a "dishonourable discharge" in the sense that the BCD and DD are.

	Candidate Received Less-Than-Honorable Discharge, Records Show
		Court documents and military records indicate that Robert Davenport, who is seeking the seat being vacated by Judge Barbara Burke, was an active naval officer from 1973 to 1977 and a reserve officer from 1977 to 1982, which encompassed the years of his law school attendance.
		Records further show that he was honorably discharged from the Navy for having twice failed to earn promotion.
		But in 2002, he was given a discharge “under other than honorable conditions” after a panel of officers found that he failed to advise the Army of his prior discharge and to obtain the waiver required when an officer discharged from another service branch seeks an Army reserve commission.

		Service members facing discharge should always get the home of record address and phone number of people in their unit who have inside knowledge of facts relevant to the discharge but which will not be in the official records.
		People who don't want to live with a less than honorable discharge should talk with a counselor or attorney before discharge if at all possible, and should normally demand all of their rights to fight against a bad discharge while they are still in the military.
		Throughout the discharge process, be aware that the federal courts have jurisdiction to determine if the military followed their own internal procedures, and complied with the law regarding the particular discharge.

		To qualify under federal law for benefits such as property tax exemptions, admittance to veterans homes and emergency financial aid, veterans are required to have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, which includes both general and honorable discharges.
		Reasons for receiving a general discharge are varied and can include minor law violations or having to leave the service because of a medical condition.

	Why Didn't Kerry Get an Honorable Discharge Until 2001?
		His file is probably rife with reports of this, submissions and hearings on the appeal, reports of his "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy, along with protests that were filed with respect to his alleged valor under fire.
		Because John Kerry was discharged from TOTAL ACTIVE DUTY of only 3 years and 18 days on 3 Jan. 1970, he was then required to attend 48 drills per year, and not more than 17 days active duty for training.
		It is also interesting to note that Kerry did not obtain an honorable discharge until Mar. 12, 2001 even though his service obligation should have ended July 1, 1972.

	Kerry's Dishonorable Discharge - RushOnline.com (Rush Limbaugh)
		As many Vietnam veterans who served their nation with dignity and honor will recall, Jimmy Carter's first official act as president was the signing of Executive Order 4483 --less than an hour after his inauguration on 21 January 1977.
		The DoD specified an appeal procedure whereby discharges could be reviewed on an individual basis to determine whether the status of a particular discharge could be revised.
		Thus, while Kerry can correctly say -- thanks to Jimmy Carter -- that he received an Honorable Discharge, he could also say with equal precision that he received "other than honorable discharge." His activities as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War were, indeed, forgiven by Carter's EO 4483 and the subsequent DoD directive.

	Things You Need to Know About Seeking a Discharge
		A complaint may be based on: race or sex discrimination, hazing, sexual harassment, sexual assault, religious discrimination, improper medical attention, an unfair transfer, illegal extra duty, denial of leave or transfer, denial of discharge, being forced to obey an illegal order, or your command's failure to process a claim for discharge.
		The "character" of your separation is the description that appears on your discharge or separation papers.
		This uncharacterized separation is neither honorable nor less then honorable because you have not been in the military long enough to develop a record.

		These adverse inferences come squarely to mind in the case of the Kerry campaign naval service records since the key document, Senator Kerry's honorable discharge, is dated 1978 in the midst of the wholesale correction of military and protestor-related records that occurred at the outset of the Carter Administration.
		The absence of the discharge that should be in the record in 1975 cannot be readily explained by blaming "bureaucracy." The military services faced significant force reductions in 1972 and again in 1974, making slow-rolling of separations unlikely.
		The inference of a discharge under such other than honorable circumstances is heightened by the odd and unexplained late re-issuance of Senator Kerry's silver star.
