I seem to remember another poster that had OTH discharge that was upset because he wasn't getting the veteran discount because DPS said he wasn't entitled. Then he appealed it to his rep and they changed their stance. (or something along those lines).

Is this a similar situation?

No, that other person received a General Discharge - under honorable conditions. OTH is below the general discharge and completely different from general.

I understand that. However, I thought the situations were similar enough the final disposition of that case may work in your favor. I just couldn't remember the details of that other situation.

I sure hope so. That was an interesting case though. Was it the man with the "chapter 10" discharge?

Cool thing about this forum is that until you go shooting with us, no one actually knows who you are. Just let the cat out of the bag and speak to is honestly what is the situation and perhaps we can help more. What happened? Why did you get in other than honorable discharge? We have a lot of vets in here!

Once you get your LTC you can change your username and will never know... :patriot:

The OTH was for a not disclosing a medical condition before I joined. When I went through boot camp, I was fine, I graduated successfully, but after boot camp, I went through additional training and that's when my condition started to show up more and hinder my ability to train. They found out and I got an NJP. I realize my mistake now of course. And nice to know there are plenty of vets here!
