My friend is getting chaptered for Patterns of Misonduct", what are the chances of his disharge?

SO my buddy in the army with me is getting chaptered for Patterns of Misconduct, mostly minor stuff that has just been an issue for the last 5 months thought he has ben in for 6 1/2 with no issues, was a stellat soldier before all this stuff happened (keep in mind this is during deployment). He said he couldnt stand being wth these people any longer so he waived his right to a separation board. The Company Commander recommended him a General Under Honorable Conditions discharge instead of the OTH, my question is, what are the chances of him recieving the General since the CO did recommend it for him, though he waived the board, so his packet will be going straight to the General? Please no smartass comments "blah blah he ****** up he wont have a life now blah blah". He really has been a good soldier as I have worked wit him for the past 3 years mself, its just some **** that happened and kept going downhill.

    If the CO recommended a General under Honorable, then 99.99% of the time that is what he will get. The discharge review board does not know him personnaly and therefore will go with what is recommended, as long as it is not in violation of the regulation.

    OTH's are generally only given for minor crimes that did not necessarily rate a Court Martial.

    Pretty close to 100%. But it depends on the General's attitude about such things.
