if you have a number of write ups, article 15's etc than yes. Your best bet is to get into medical treatment on base, make your chain of command aware of your diagnosis, and consult with JAG about your legal recourse and options.

a medical chapter is certainly better than a bad conduct discharge, if it's headed there. Explore what benefits you are entitled to under varios discharges, chapters, and disability provisions.

Are you able to purchase anything after being discharged?

Purchase from where, and discharged from where? If this is a military question, it's circumstantial. A regular honorable discharge due to ETS, no. A disability discharge, you MIGHT be able to retain some PX/Commisary privileges. Same with retirement.


I am getting Administration Separation from the Marine Corps because of my depression. What kind of impacts will this have on me in the civilian world?

Tough break. Well, every job application has a section that asks if you were in the military and also it asks what your discharge was. To employers, they're liable to ask about anything that doesn't say "honorable." You won't receive all of the benefits that Vets get but you'll be alright. Just be able to respond to the question, "why was your discharge not honorable?"


How hard is it to get into the air force with a general discharge from the army?

Basically impossible--you have to tick off a lot of people to get anything lower than an honorable discharge from the military because the paper trail is so onerous. (One of my roommates at Fort Hood got thrown out on a general, and he left us a gift--the stack of paperwork they used to justify a less-than-honorable discharge. It was two inches thick, and really entertaining reading.) If you screwed up badly enough to get put out with a general discharge, the Army won't want you. Neither will the other three services.


Can you get a job for a company who holds government contracts with another then honorable discharge?

It depends on the discharge type, but in general, no. You can get a job if they'll hire you, but the fact is that if it's a government contractor that requires you to have an active security clearance (which is pretty much anything these days) there's no way they can hire you due to clearance restrictions for working on contracts.

Honorable Service Lapel Button Edit Honorable Service Lapel Button Honorable Discharge Emblem lozenge The Honorable Service Lapel Button sometimes called the Honorable Service Lapel Pin was awarded to United States military service members who were discharged under honorable conditions during World War II.[1] The award was sometimes slangily called the Ruptured duck.[2] Sculptor Anthony de Francisci designed the award.

Service members who received the plastic version were later allowed to trade it in for the brass version.

Can you change an entry level separation to an honorable discharge?

The short answer NO. I got an ELS after 5 1/2 months in the Marines for medical reasons. Might as well forget you ever served at all. We could be the guys who would do anything to stay in but we'll always be considered the same as the ones who would do anything to get out. But it's convenient for the government. No benefits period.
