I've been watching this thread for a while.

For the record, I have a General Discharge Honorable Conditions. To my knowledge, the only thing I lost was the GI Bill. All my other vet benefits at the fed and state level are not effected.

That being said, I have never considered my discharge to be a "Honorable Discharge". It has always been a General, under Honorable Conditions. Better than a General other than honorable and a whole lot better than a bad conduct or dishonorable discharge, but still, not a "honorable discharge".

When I initially started the CHL process, I took a hard look at the vet discount. I agree with the OP that based on the language used, a person with a General honorable conditions would qualify for the discount. I do not believe that any General Discharge should be able to receive the reduced fee so I have chosen to pay full price for my CHL.

In my eyes, that discount is reserved for Honorably discharged veterans only, and I don't qualify.

I agree with the "Honorable Discharge" vets and completely understand why they take issue with someone equating a General Discharge to an Honorable discharge

If you got a General, then you did something to deserve it. If you don't like it, then take it to the review board for your branch of service and plead your case.
