Administrative discharges from the military fall into several categories:

• Honorable Discharge: The most favorable, with full benefits.
• General Discharge: Indicates satisfactory service but with minor issues; some benefits may be limited.
• Under Other Than Honorable Conditions (OTH/UOTHC) Discharge: Serious misconduct can lead to this, affecting benefits and civilian opportunities.

A court-martial may also impose a bad conduct discharge or a dishonorable discharge.  If you’re facing an unfavorable discharge, an attorney can fight to improve its characterization.
