Getting a General Discharge under honorable conditions?

You will be discharged honorably due to medical reasons. Your discharge should have no effect whatsoever on any future employment. However, your medical issues may preclude you from joining the Police.

Other than possibly some limited generic Veteran's benefits - if any - you have not served long enough to get any benefits.

Thanks for trying.

EDIT: Christ! I missed the whole DEP part. If that is accurate, you simply get released from your DEP status - there is no Discharge per se. You get no benefits whatsoever other than the self satisfaction of having tried.

You won't get a medical discharge as an Honorable Discharge as some are claiming. Yes, normally a medical discharge means Honorable Discharge, but you had medical information you withheld prior to enlisting and just hoped no one would ever find out. I don't think the police academy will look too highly on someone who fraudulently enlisted...lying and hiding information doesn't seem to be a good quality in a police officer. All that aside, the same stuff disqualifying you from the military will likely disqualify you from the police force. But I am not a cop, so you would be better off asking a police academy official.

I do know 2 Marines that acquired kicked out of the Marine Corps for misconduct. Good, i do know 2 good, noticeable just a few others. However anyway, they appealed as quickly as they seperated, however do not count on an answer that quick. Mostly, with the proper strategies (like your ancient CO signing an approval of an upgrade) you could eventually improve your discharge 1 up, which for you is honorable I suppose. You must nonetheless qualify for unique VA benifits however i couldn't specify which of them you can and can not obtain yet. Consider, before submitting a bundle for an upgrade, hir a legal professional or someone who's skilled with it. Do some volunteer work for a number of months, like 10 hours every week. It is not going to damage and meanwhile don't do whatever that could get you in more problem!! Exhibit them at the VA that you're an improved individual, and a productive member of society at present. Good success

That sort of discharge would not affect applying for a police agency. I work with a guy (at a police department) who got medically discharged from active duty Marines right after basic training because of some kind of problem with his knee and a heart murmur or something like that. He didn't want out, they forced him out. And yes there are still benefits. The house he's living in right now was bought with a VA loan.

Why is that a general though rather than just straight out honorable? Do you just THINK it's general or have you actually been told that? If it is general then is it because they're claiming that you lied and didn't tell them about the ADD or whatever at MEPS? If so that might change things.

Sounds like you will get an Entry Level Seperation (ELS)...

Fastest and Cheapest way to get rid of you off their books...

But sounds more like you could get a Fraudulent Discharge...

as you never revealed that you had ADD/ADHD when you Enlisted...

You are a Permanent DQ from ever Enlisting into

any Service or Police Dept for LIFE !!!!

What part of Mental Health Disorder don't you understand ???

I followed your question right down to the last sentence before I realized,that you are enlisted in DEP and not on active duty.

"I would do anything in the world to stay in, but the doctors down at MEP's could care less."

If you were on active duty, you would not be seeing a MEPS doctor for any type of approval to stay in.

You will receive a DEP discharge and nothing more.

Good luck with applying for the police academy. I don't know how they will evaluate your medical issues and your history of fraudulent statements.

..

unless they decide to go back and charge you with fraudulent entry for not disclosing the ADD/ADHD( which is NOT a DQ if you have met certain criteria) or the concussions( which IS a DQ) you should get a medical discharge for the Meniere's.

either way you will probably have issues getting into Law enforcement.., for all the reasons above.. the concussions, the ADD/ADHD and the Meniere's.

at most you can hope for continued medical care for the Meniere's alone through the VA

Who said that you would be getting a General Discharge? I sounds to me that you are getting discharged for a medical condition which should be considered an Honorable Discharge.

While a General Under Honorable Conditions discharge is considered an honorable discharge, there are huge differences in benefits when you get out. Getting a job after wards completely depends on the code that they give you on your discharge paperwork. If it is for lying to the government to gain enlistment, then I don't see it hindering your future jobs. Usually the big ones that hinder future employment have to do with drug abuse or security violations...

General Discharge under honorable is still an HONORABLE discharge !
