An Other Than Honorable Discharge is a type of military discharge that indicates a service member's conduct was not in line with the standards expected by the military. This can result from various issues, such as misconduct, security violations, or failure to follow orders. It is more severe than a general discharge but less severe than a dishonorable discharge. Receiving an Other Than Honorable Discharge can affect a veteran's benefits and eligibility for certain programs. For instance, veterans may face challenges when applying for VA benefits or seeking employment, as this type of discharge may raise concerns about their service record.
