Types of Military Discharge and What They Mean for Your Future

Do you know the difference between an honorable, general, or other-than-honorable discharge? In this video, attorneys from the Law Office of Will M. Helixon break down the types of military discharge—from uncharacterized to dishonorable—and explain what they mean for your benefits, career, and future opportunities.

Learn how your discharge characterization can impact your GI Bill, VA benefits, civil service eligibility, and even job applications or professional licenses. We also cover punitive discharges, dismissals for officers, and why it’s critical to seek legal help if you’re facing anything less than an honorable discharge.
