Scrubs Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Does anybody know how much an other than honorable (NOT dishonorable) discharge will affect the selection process for a NAV slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest priorAF Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'm not anexpert but I'm guessing that it DEFINITELY does not help. It is a very selective process with many people applying that have impeccable applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHAP Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Will they even let you back in? We had a guy apply for ROTC with an other than honorable and the code on his discharge papers wouldnt even allow him to rejoin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubs Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 The stipulaion of the discharge was that I was unable to join any military service for two years after. It has been 10 years. The discharge was medically related, and the problem has been resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperStallionIP Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 OTH for a medical problem? Is there more to the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubs Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 I was in basic training at the time. Could not get an honorable. I had not served the 180 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddller Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I think there's a process for getting OTH's turned into HD's if that's case. Try google, otherwise, I don't think you have a snowball's chance in hell unless you did some REAL good explaining in the package AND they even bother to read it after seeing the OTH. Sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and I'm thinkin that you have to be real close to 30 if not older if you have been out of the service for over 10 years already. It's not lookin good my man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR1CK Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Scrubs I has an Entry Training Physical Seperation from the ARMY due to my flat feet. You shouldn't have gotten an Other Than Honorable Discharge for a medical problem. Anyway I have been a Navigator for 6 years now. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubs Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 OK, I finally got a copy of my DD F214. It is an uncharacterized discharge with a separation code of JGA - Entry Level Performance and Conduct. Essentially, I was unable to "hack it" physcially and was separated after 30 days. My reenlistment code is 3, which means that I can reenter the military. I spoke to a recruiter who agrees. Also, I'm 28 and I was 18 when I enlisted. Sure, I'm age critical, but it has been done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rangerbob5 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I am sure the Army would give you another shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
