I'm also facing a possible Med Board but nothing is certain. Due to personal family matters, I wouldn't be opposed to being chaptered in 90 days as long as I leave with an honorable discharge.

The way it works is if you deny going to the board you get a code on your erb that will not allow you to re-enlist. If you are around the rcp for your rank you will leave the military. Either way you will get an honerable discharge.

It will likely be a Chapter 13 for Unsatisfactory Performance. Your command may choose to initiate a Bar to Continued Service prior to that. The characterization (honorable, general, etc) is dependent upon the recommendation of your chain of command and the decision of the approval authority. The approving authority may choose to retain you in service. You can read up on the different types of Chapters and criteria for each one in AR 635-200.

SSG(P) Loris Metzinger Well, if you need help or advise you know you can always reach out to me. I hate to see you get out of the military, but sometimes it is the best move for the individual.

Even if you know you're not re-enlisting, why would you want to cut yourself short? I would go just for the experience...and yes, I've heard it before...that you feel if you go, you'll be denying someone else the opportunity, who wants to re-enlist.
