I think they intend the term under to indicate less than honorable. I don't recall anyone saying you can't or shouldn't discuss it here. I was curious what the DPS said since they are the ones in charge of interpreting the law, managing the program and issuing the licenses. None of us have the authority to set them straight as you seem to wish.

Sorry you got a lower level discharge than honorable discharge. That is between you and the military.
I don't think that is what the intended use of the word "under" is when used like this.

Really? There have been several weeks indicating so. The city that wrote the Sentinel article is an attorney.
I thought it was more like the following.

"He did the best he could under the circumstances."

Maybe he did something minor wrong and maybe he didn't, like ScooterSissy. Isn't there a minimum time served required to obtain an honorable discharge.
I was an Army brat (so I joined the Navy) and can remember my grandfather, Brigadier General E.F. Wallender, telling of the days when a normal discharge was a "General Discharge" and an "Honorable Discharge" was reserved for those who excelled. This changed between the wars, until the expected discharge was "Honorable" and anything less was just that, less. Grandpap didn't survive to see me get my H.D. but he knew I was on my way, even if I was a squid.
