Pocketgrove.....there are so many things I'd like to say in response to what you said, but, I'm not going to. My prayer for you is that you live a long healthy life, a prosperous life, and a life filled with many opportunities. As a matter of fact, I'll even go a step further. May you live in interesting times.

Yeah, I know. There's always a price to pay no matter how young and stupid you were when you made the mistakes.

Fair enough. Thanks folks. That's one of the many reasons I joined this forum. For the wisdom and knowledge base that y'all provide.

$70....hmmm, lets' put that into a context. It's about 3 boxes of really good ammo. It's $70 towards getting the handgun I want. It's $70 towards the Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe IWB I am looking at.

Yeah, I could really use that extra $70. On the other hand, I could get by without it that's for sure. Especially if y'all don't think I can qualify for my CHL with that DD-214.

I am interested in getting my CHL. Have been for about 6 months now I guess. I have heard that if you have served in the military then you get a discount. All you have to do is send a copy of your DD-214. However, I have an issue. It's embarrassing. It was about 25 yrs ago that I served and at one point I was experiencing some personal difficulties with my then wife. Serious ones. Some might have turned to alcohol. I went stupid and turned to drugs. After the second urinalysis come up positive, the Army said seeya. Rather than getting a Dishonorable Discharge, I got a General Under Honorable Conditions. On the bottom of the DD-214 it clearly says that I was let go because of drugs. I was young and stupid. It took a couple of years but I haven't done drugs since around 1990.

So, will that stop me from getting my CHL? Can, or even should, I try and use the DD-214 for the discount?
