Receiving an administrative discharge prior to the completion of initial military training does not qualify as service in the military. The exception is if you are injured and medically disqualified from fruther military service.

if it was for medical reasons it would be a Medical Discharge, not administrative Discharge.
An Administrative Discharge is usually because the recruit screwed up something during his enlistment Like lying about something that would have prevented his enlistment in the first place.
Now technically you did join the military but You are not really considered to have "Served" in the Military. If you go around telling people, especially any other veterans who have served and got out with an HONORABLE discharge, that you have served. you will be looked down upon as a fake, a poser, a wannabe.

No, you have to complete basic to be given credit for serving. The Air Force doesn not usually consider you as having served until at least 6 months service. Any discharge before 6 months usually ends up as an entry-level separation.

In reality, you enlisted, but have NOT earned your Veteran Status or have Served in the Military.
Why the Administrative Discharge? Is it because you thought it was too tough and wanted out? I can assure you that Basic Training IS tough -- but given our assignments, that Initial Training MUST of necessity BE tough!

If the General Discharge hasn't already happened,, get your backside into gear and make sure it doesn't. Regardless of how tough you think BMT is, it is well worth the effort.
If it is for medical reasons,,, thats tough man,, I feel for ya

Having not completed training, it would be more accurate to say that you enlisted, but never served. Good luck.

I would say no at least not in any way that matters. You are not eligible for any benefits and you are not subject to any recall.
