Hmmmm.....things are adding up
A general discharge under honorable conditions means that your service was satisfactory, but didn't deserve the highest discharge level for performance. Usually, this means that the positive aspects of your conduct and duty outweighed the negatives. Many veterans with this type of discharge may have engaged in minor misconduct.
While veterans might not be thrilled with a general discharge on their resume, they can still qualify for important benefits such as health care, TRICARE's Continued Health Care Benefit Program (military health insurance), disability compensation, VA pension, home loans, and all education benefits—except for those available under the Montgomery or Post-9/11 GI Bill.
