It may for people who know the difference. Usually the most general discharges are inability to adapt. It would depend on the field, law enforcement etc. Ex-military employers would probably give the most problems. I have always heard and I don't know if its fact, that you can request an honorable after 6 months. It want effect any loans unless its a VA Loan. Creditors look at your credit score and income not at discharge papers.

It all depends on what job you are looking at getting. If you want to get into some sort of goverment job then someone else that has an honorable discharge is going to beat you out. A general aint that bad though. I beleive after about 6 months you can file the paperwork to bump it up to an honorable...

u don't say why the discharge. An honorable discharge will have no effect on you. A general discharge i have not heard of. i have heard of dishonorable discharge and honorable. Dishonorable could follow you into employment. Depends what the application for employment states. Depends why the discharge. Yes it can follow you.

It shouldn't. A general discharge is under honorable conditions but usually a person hadn't developed a record that warranted giving him or her an "honorable discharge". This type of discharge is not even close to being "dishonorable" or a "bad conduct" discharge. A person shouldn't have problems with this but always push for honorable.

Depends on what career you choose. All of my employers wanted to see my DD214. I doubt anyone with a General would be able to land a Federal or State job and I doubt theyd be eligible for a VA loan.
Aside from that, probably wouldnt affect adversely other than personal embarrassment and humiliation.

Depends on the career field you want to go into. Basically, those that know the difference between a general and an honorable will want to know more (unless they just turn you down flat). If you're looking to work in a field with no connection to the military (i.e. no law enforcement, security, etc.), it probably won't make a difference.

I have only heard about dishonorable discharges being negative unless they get specific in the details it should not affect you.
