Not prematurely, I mean. But if you serve your contracted time, and you don't do anything really stupid, is that enough to get an honerable discharge? Or do you have to go above and beyond to be "honerable"? What does "general" discharge mean?

Just keep your nose clean by not getting in trouble and you have it made. I think a general discharge is for generals. tee hee. Not really. A general is an honorable discharge with maybe an infraction. I received a BCD under honorable conditions. Which was considered honorable 6 months after I was discharged. There are several types of honorable discharges.
Go for the regular one though. Don't get into any trouble and you've got it made.

The discharge is " under Honorable conditions", which means you did what you were told to do. A General Discharge means that for some reason you did not fulfill the contracted time completely or you got in trouble somewhere along the line.

An Honerable Discharge is given to everyone who serves there obligation. General Discharge is given to people that Uncle Sam wants out but is not bad enough for Dishonerable Discharge.

An Honorable Discharge means you didn't screw up. A General Discharge means you did but not badly enough to receive a Dishonorable discharge.

Half of your post are getting it half right. An honorable discharge does not have anything to do with fulfilling the time you signed up for. Honorable is just the conditions under witch you left the military.

Not hard at all to get an honorable disharge. As long as you don't go to court martial or have problems that they use an administrative discharge for (such as civilian arrests or drug use)
pretty much just doing your job and not getting into trouble will wwarrant an honorable discharge

if you keep yourself out of severe trouble and served your complete time, you do get an honorable....as for general, i just asked the VA officer the other day....if you get a GENERAL UNDER HONRABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, he said that means you did something wrong, took your punishment for it and finished your time...i dont know if that was exactly it but either way, you want just an honorable discharge.....
