Stained, dirty, smells like weed, possibly a relic from the sixties.



Nearly everyone I work with regularly is saying "gently caress this" and getting out sometime in the next year. All of them planned on staying in much, much longer.

I like to think I had something to do with that.

med board for major depressive disorder would likely result in a general under honorable, if not honorable. OTH is punitive, wouldn't apply to you. a GUH discharge will take away your GI bill, but you would have access to VA voc rehab. the major differences between the GI bill and voc rehab are 1. no sweet sweet BAH, just a monthly payout of like $600, and 2. you have to get your education plan approved by a voc rehab counselor.

edit: corrected below, medical discharge is honorable

they can't give you anything other than a full honorable if you have an illness that makes you non-retainable. major depressive is an illness, therefor you would get an honorable.

It may not be interracial, but it is black and white.
If you are medboarded, your discharge should be categorized as an honorable unless you are already being separated under a different category then it is the first general officer in your CoC that decides the categorization of discharge I believe. You should also receive your entire GI Bill, even if you haven't served a full qualifying 3 years, if you receive a medical discharge. There are also some conditions that allow them to discharge you administratively instead of through a medboard and these could result in your general discharges. All of this should be covered in AR 635-200.

Need to buy a new pair of boots for the field/rucking. Are the Rocky SV2's really worth $220? Otherwise looking at a pair of Garmont T8's or Danner Tachyion's which are considerably cheaper.

I've seen it done in a week. The guy managed to piss off every single officer and NCO in his chain of command all way up to brigade though, so having a full-bird pushing it probably helped things :v:

well yeah but most people who got chaptered out of basic would go to the chapter company for a couple months

at fort lost in the woods it was Golf Company. They'd do yardwork every day until their discharge went through,.

Yeah, it definitely depends on who you piss off.

You piss off the brigade CO and the brigade CSM, and you can be out in 48 hours as I saw once.

A company commander hasn't got the juice to get it done that quick, no matter how much he wants it. When I was in the training room and overheard the CO talking to the XO: "I hate that fat gently caress, and I want him out as soon as possible with a dishonorable so he can't keep leeching off the government. How can we make this happen?" <XO closes door>

Still took a few months.

That's because Captains generally lack the experience and perspective to understand that "the soldier is fat" is not a reason to gently caress the guy for the rest of his life. Especially not active duty Captains.

Ohhhhh, ho ho ho, being fat was the least of this dude's problems. Massive string of legal problems all from being an idiot.

While I never cared if someone was army fat as long as they didn't hold anyone else up, this dude was easily 300 pounds + and calling him a fat gently caress was generally an accurate description.

Your comment is probably pretty accurate for a lot of other situations though.

Sort of. I have a Captain working for me that does not seem to understand that since he was TWICE let off the hook with a slap on the wrist for blatantly disrespectful behavior, it might be a good idea for him to not advocate for me and the battalion commander to hammer people who are someone other than him for more trivial matters. I have explained this gently a few times and I am running out of things to say other than "you're a loving hypocritical shitlord."

This Captain is also much older than the typical active duty company commander and has no excuse at all.
