<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>At most you should just have a bar to reenlist placed on you. It may also affect your RE code which is for if you try to go back in or to reserve or NG. Should not change an honorable to anything less.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You'll get an A1 Honorable. Relax, you're fine.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to chapter someone that close to their ETS. But either way nothing will change as far as benefits unless you have over 6 years of service. Then you would be entitled to severance pay. Your RE code will be a 3 and not a one which will prevent you from joining again unless the service is really hurting for bodies. Once your chapter hits transisition that's when your leave will come into play. Make sure you inform your command you want to take leave or you will have to sell it. Once they cut your orders that's it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Actually, you will be marched out in front of the entire battalion with a drum beat marking slow time, and your rank and other insignia will be ripped from your uniform in front of the entire formation and then you will be marched out the front gate and tossed into the streets, your name stricken from the rolls, ....and depending on the mood of your CO, you might be given a white feather too....<br /><br />see...I watched too many old movies last night... cue sarcasm font :)<br /><br />Actually, unless you planned on trying to get back in later, or it was a personal pride issue relax and take a deep breath. Some units might go all chickenshit and screw around with you but it's just mostly games.<br /><br />Right before I retired some annoying twit of a 2nd Lt noticed I hadn't run a PFT in the last six months and insisted I run a PFT - 32 days before my terminal leave - I just laughed.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you failed your APFT, you should be flagged. Being flagged can affect several things such as getting and award, going to school, any kind of favorable action. I cannot see how they would have enough time to try and chapter you out for APFT failure. You should be able to out-process and start your transitional leave as scheduled. I do recommend joining either the National Guard or the Reserve.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I will guess you are separating and not retiring.<br />I don't know your whole military record, so I will make my guess as each branch does their own thing. <br />Assuming that you had good reports and no discipline issues, a general discharge or honorable discharge would be in order.<br />However if you have negative reports or discipline issues, a general discharge would be in order.<br />You will most likely get a LOC or LOR for the failure for not keeping within standards this will be for record to "shut the door" and make it difficult to come back into the military at a later date.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As an E-4 I'm guessing you are still in your 8 year MSO. You have to go to a Drilling Reserve Unit or go IRR. That Flag will follow you.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Soft failure is an honorable

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I ETSd I was overweight and an APFT failure. They didn't chapter me, nor did my discharge change. It did change my reentry code to RE-3 so I am barred from further military service unless I get a waiver. Oddly they offered me separation pay, but since that money had some strings attached to it I refused. The APFT will not prevent your discharge at all.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Uncle Sam can't stop time brother. You should still get your Honorable.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Of course you can, and your discharge will be honorable.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Unless you are being kicked out specifically for your PT failure, it should not affect your discharge. Now I believe if that happened, you'd be put on some kind of remedial program and wouldn't be allowed to separate until you passed the PT test. If not, they might just deny any leave until you've actually separated.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>At best, they might withhold your leave. Your legal office, most likely, would advice the chain of command to let it go. Either way is an honorable discharge and not worth anyone's time to do a Chapter 13 (Unsatisfactory Performance) over a Chapter 4 (ETS or Retirement).

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They should let it be.
