If an individual leaves the military before completing at least days of service, they receive an entry-level separation status. This type of military discharge can happen for a variety of reasons medical, administrative, etc. In some situations, you may be eligible to apply to have your military discharge upgraded to a higher rating.
However, despite, the rumors, there is no automatic upgrade process. You must then submit the form to the Discharge Review Board within 15 years of your discharge. If your discharge was more than 15 years ago, you must request a change to your military records.
Here is more information about military discharge upgrades. This information should be used as a reference only — especially if you are an employer researching a job applicant. Due to legal issues surrounding Equal Employment Opportunities and related laws, one should be careful in the interview process. Read more about illegal job interview questions. For example, you can ask them if they have military service, the period of their service, rank at time of separation, type of training, leadership, and work experience, qualifications and certifications, and anything else relevant to the specific position for which they are applying.

You need to be convicted in a general court-martial of violating any of a number of provisions outlined in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. These include, but are not limited to: Striking a warrant officer Article 91 , failure to obey an order or regulation Article 92 , unlawful detention Article 97 , misbehavior before the enemy Article 99 , falsifying official statements Article , and misbehavior of a sentinel or lookout Article So, how often does this sort of thing happen?
Well, during the shortest month of this year, Navy courts-martial, as summarized in this release , resulted in four sailors earning themselves dishonorable discharges.
Now, before we get started, know that commissioned officers cannot get discharges of any type. The officer equivalent of a dishonorable discharge is a dismissal from the service. Whether dismissed or dishonorably discharged, that service member forfeits all benefits. These troops hold their honorable discharges — the complete opposite of a dishonorable discharge.
