I got a general under honorable. I was harassed everyday by this guy for like 5 months verbally and emotionally so I threw my butcher knife at him. I didn't even go to mast or njp for this incident. I had a perfect service record, good conduct medal, letters of comendation etc. the psycho ward determined that I should get out. the ship that I was on the infamous uss halsey which I am very proud of and has come a long way seeing as it has had its share of scandals and tragedies. look it up. I was kicked out. after 4 years and 9 months. I have severe depression issues. I am going with voc rehab till I hear word about this. I think that regardless people who have served with more than 3 consecutive years should be entitled to school benefits. I am rated 100 percent disabled. I had to fight for that. I am thankful for that. we'll see if they go ahead and give me my certificate of eligibility. if not, there is always voc rehab.

I applied for the Post 9-11 GI Bill and was denied since I received a General (Under Honorable Conditions)and not a Honorable. That will help me in my appeal.

According to FM-14 under discharge benefits, any personnel discharge with General Discharge with honorable conditions is eligible for ALL of the same entitlements as those with "Honorable" discharge with the exception of Civil Service Retirement Credit. on Page 2 of the FM in the sixth block it is labeled education assistance.

Perfect service record- not a thing negative. Let me know what they say about your case. I've applied but I havn't heard anything back. I know I wasn't able to get the other MGIB because the discharge was not stricktly "honorable". I hope we quilify under this one. -Melissa: Meesa7@yahoo.com Mathew, I had the same problem- I have 2 years served after 9/11 and was dischared with a “personality disorder” with a “general under honorable conditions” discharge.

However, if you were discharged due a medical condition, you should still qualify for the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Also, if you served from 2000 to 2005, I believe you qualify for the Post 9/11 GI Bill through this time of service.

My first contract was from 06/13/2000 to 06/12/2005. During my last year of my first contract I decided to reenlist. Upon any reenlistment that military member is first officially discharged and then reenlisted. During my second contract I was medically discharged with a “Personality Disorder” on 02/07/2007 and was given a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge. From what I have read under the Veteran Affairs website pertaining to the new Post 9/11 GI Bill, to be eligible you must have an honorable discharge or be discharged for something such as hardship or a condition interfering with your duties. My question is since I did not get an Honorable Discharge but a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge will I still be entitled to the new Post 9/11 GI Bill???? Two factors that I want to point out is 1. I contributed to the MGIB during my first year of my first contract in which before being reenlisted I was officially Honorably Discharged. And 2. A personality disorder is a medical condition which interfered with me performing my duties. Does anyone have any information that they coudl give me for my situation??? Since I performed on complete contract with the Marine Corps to which was when I contributed to the GI Bill will I be entitled to the Post 9/11 GI Bill??
