Civilan employers don't know what kind of discharge you received.
They won't even know you were in the military, unless you tell them.
Now jobs that require a security clearence, they will know you were in the military and see what kind of discharge you received.
But most civilan jobs, have no way to find out, even if you told them you were in the military.
There is no number a civilan employer can call, to verify your military experience.
If you list your military experience on your resume or application, they may ask for your DD-214 to verify it.
But since most civilans have never heard of a dd-214, most will not.
Ive never had an employer ask for my dd-214 before.
And no civilan back ground check can determine what kind of discharge you received.
The military is not allowed to release any of your military records to anyone, unless you file a release saying to release them to a third party.

A dishonorable discharge calls so you may well be convicted in a court docket-martial and can leave you with a legal conviction. truthfully the quickest way is to in undemanding terms go AWOL yet once you % an particularly discharge you will might desire to the two tutor you have a psychological difficulty, a hassle, or in basic terms say screw it and commit an offense which includes getting a DUI or pissing warm. it would particularly suck for you in case you do get out then that grant to procure is not valid....

Because they can ask to see your DD214. You have to give a job history and unless you are thinking you can lie about the last 4+ years of your life you will have to say you are in the military. HR people are smart they know what an RE-3 or RE-4 means. And if they are really smart they will go look up the specific code on the internet.

You can give them a copy of your discharge papers, your DD214 should work fine. It will list what type of discharge you recieve upon getting out of the Army. Good Luck

On most job applications, there is a place that you fill in. If you tell them that you received an Honorable discharge, and they hire you, and later find out that you have a general discharge or a bad conduct discharge, then they would immediately fire you for lying to them in the first place.

Unfortunately, most don't really care if you ever served or not, and many who think they should care, haven't any idea what makes it important. If your discharge is unfavorable, it may keep you from elected office, or working in a Defense Industry (where a lot of people do know and care), but most of American Life is available if your only derogatory record is in military files.
The answer is that most will never know.

I know they can look it up by at least gov't jobs can. They were confused by me when they pulled up my DD 214 but they couldn't find my discharge since I am still in the Army National Guard.

They'll contact the Army to verify that you were indeed in it, and they'll want references from it anyway. That'll come up because whoever they talk to will inform them of what discharge you got...

They have to specifically look at your military record to find what kind of discharge you got. As long as its not a dishonorable discharge, you dont have to worry.

They will want to see a copy or your ddt214. If you tell them you were in the army. Otherwise a normal background check will show it.
