There is not one "strait answer", it depends upon the reasons for the separation. That being said, in today's environment I would say it is extremely unlikely if not impossible.

The reason being that the DoD is still "trimming the force".

Possible, Yes. Likely, No. The GUH discharge is given to service members whose performance is satisfactory but is marred by a "considerable departure in duty" otherwise expected. In the face of draw-downs, there are more competitive DD-214's to review for retention. This type of discharge is typically seen when commanders didn't have the time and/or inclination to administrative separate you prior to EAS. Just shootin' straight with you, PFC Joshua Slater.

Ask a recruiter. Almost anything is waiverable, except BCD or RE4. Accessions and retention are not so good now, so that's in your favor.

1. Don't ask us. 2.The recruiters are the knowledge folks for this. 3. It also depends on the circumstances and why of the discharge.

It is all going to come down to the RE Code, if a Recruiter will give you the time of day, what your MOS was, if they need your specific MOS, ect. There is a lot of variables in this equation but it doesn't look good.

Most likely no, there was definitely a reason a general under honorable was given.

You should talk to a recruiter. Enlistment standards are pretty tight now so I wouldn't count on getting a waiver. You might want to see if you can join the National Guard.

Possible but you really need to answer if the military is right for you. It may not be and that's ok, there are other ways to serve.

PFC Joshua Slater - "RE-3 - Individuals who are not qualified for continued Army service, but the disqualification is waiverable. Ineligible for enlistment unless a waiver is granted."

Doesn't sound good, my friend. You might have better success in the reserves.
