There are other choices between honorable and dishonorable.
- Honorable
- General
- Other than Honorable Conditions
- Bad Conduct
- Dishonorable
You were an occifer -- you know this.
Yes, I know that, but it said he was given an Honorable, per the story, so none of the other discharges matter. If it was Less then Honorable, I sure they would have said so. At least in the 80's and 90's, they didn't hand out many General Discharges. You can still be a shitbird and get out with an Honorable was my point.
Since when did time in service start being counted from the completion of AIT?
Re-read what I wrote. I was figuring out when his time in service started. Time in service starts from your initial entry date. The story said he was at Ft. Campbelll (his permanent party duty station) from August 2015-February 2017 which is far less then two years. Backing up 2.5-3 months from August for initial entry training (at Ft. Benning, where all infantry MOS training is done) would put his pay entry basic date at wometime in April or May of 2015. Still not two full years on Active Duty. Unless he was injured in OSUT. But generally something that puts you on sick call for ~2 months is enough to get you TDP'd.
