Question by mrskerlin: How bad is an other than honorable discharge on your record?
My stepson is getting kicked out of the Army with an other than honorable – the reason of drug abuse. Will he have a hard time getting a career type job when he grows up and shakes some of his past bad habits?

It will make it more difficult, but not impossible. Government jobs especially will be hard to come by. Other employers vary widely. Of course self-employment is wide open.

They have given of themselves and sacrificed without question. It is time we, as a nation, come together to show our appreciation. “Support Our Troops” is more than a cute yellow bumper sticker to wear on your car.
