Should have joined the Navy. Everyone is a firefighter. During boot camp you are trained as a shipboard firefighter. No one walks onto a ship until they are trained as a firefighter. If you go to an aircraft carrier or flight line, then you are also trained as an aircraft firefighter. You can tell your superiors that you smoked weed all you want, they will not care. Unless it shows up on a piss test. There are things in your post however that do not add up. I am calling some degree of bullshit. Last Edited by BrokenTech on 09/07/2016 07:49 PM |

Were you court-martialed? If you were court-martialed, it could be an other-than-honorable discharge, bad conduct discharge or dishonorable discharge.

Tell them your sexual choice gender identity was questioned and you were forced out. In the civilian world you are better protected. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63212411 Brilliant cause being gay is so hip and cool right now. Use that advice and you will go from zero to hero just like Zoro the gay blade. Then after you are hired somewhere you can revert to being a heterosexual. |

Maybe your best bet is to say that you enlisted for a specific mos but following boot camp they never sent you to that mos...after that the dispute dragged on until it reached the lawyers. Enlistment papers were legally unclear so: The result was you could (were offerred) 1-finish your time in current mos or 2-be honorably dicharged (since you had satisfactory completed all duties). It was a tough decision but the mos did not suit your future so you took the honorable. You didnt want to lie, so you included your service on the application...even though you did not fulfill your term. Normaly you dont mention your service except family etc. You have learned to be more attentive to detail in life and did enjoy service....looking back you realize it would have been better to stick it out. You felt the marines treated you fairly. Dont go on babbling alot of details or specifics. |

Op, Your service was dishonorable, be thankful you got a dd-214 stating honorable service This is the truth. I would question the timeframe as well. Knowing your story I would not hire you either. If you don't understand why then that is the place to start soul searching. |

A 1st SGT doesn't have the authority to discharge an armed forces member, they can only initiate it with the commanding officers authority and then It goes to battalion. |
