There are three major types: Honorable, General and Dishonorable.
Honorable discharges are given to personnel who have distinguished themselves in the service, such as those permanently physically disabled during conflict. In civilian terms, this is approximately like a medical retirement, with the addition of recognition for exemplary service and dedication.
General discharges are typically given to personnel who have served well but not with great distinction and are leaving the service at the end of their enlistment period. In civilian terms, this is approximately like retiring.
Dishonorable discharges are for those who are ejected from the military for failure to meet the terms of service. In civilian terms, this is approximately equivalent to being fired, with the additional notation that you were unfit for military service.
The five types of discharge are as follows:
1. Honorable
2. General (under honorable conditions)
3. Other than honorable
4. Bad conduct
5. Dishonorable

Military pay ends on the date of discharge, for honorable, general under honorable, general under less than honorable, and dishonoralbe discharges. There are no residual benefits for less than honorable or dishonorable discharges.
