What is an 'uncharacterized discharge'?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_discharge

If the term of service was unusually short (typically, less than six months), the discharge is considered uncharacterized, as insufficient time has passed to determine the character of one's service. Typically, these are issued to those who are discharged early on, such as failing basic training or demonstrating an inability to adapt to military life after basic training.

There you go...although really, should I have to look it up on Wiki for you? :p

You asked what something is even though you knew what it was? Are you trying your hand at some sort of device? If so, please get to the point.

I think that some people consider wiki inaccurate. (Though possibly unreliable would be a better description).

Saying that I'm still assuming :/

Haven't heard of anyone getting one. It just means they didn't give you a honorable or dishonorable discharge. Actually now that I think of it. It may be used for people that do not make it through boot for medical or some other reason. Therefore Honorable or dishonorable wouldn't apply because of the short amount of time in the service.

Premature ejaculation. Like, out of penis.

As opposed to ejaculation out of the vagina. (Which does occur, but not exactly from the vagina... oh, you get the point.)

Can that happen prematurely though?

Some people consider that the only honourable discharge.

Addendum to question: is it possible to rejoin the military after receiving an uncharacteristic discharge?

Yes.

You really have to qualify that question.

Yes.

How?

How?

By re-enlisting.

It's certainly not unknown in HM's Armed forces - provided that I understand your definition of uncharacteristic.

Like, in your face? Depends...

You make assumptions as to why I'm asking.

:rolleyes:

I made no assumption. You asked a question...I provided an answer.

Sometimes I wonder why I bother...*wanders off*

I'm not defining 'uncharacteristic' here - the term 'uncharacteristic discharge' appears to be a particular one used by the US military to cover a certain classification.

Shiney: It is value neutral however. So if you actively prevented people from re-enlisting you would run afoul of the equal protection clause. (Being as it is a discharge without prejudice).

So it would depend upon the recruitment quota and how desperate things are.

I imagine right now, there would be no problem.

The classification it covers is for people who werent in the service long enough to earn a Honorable or General Discharge or get into enough trouble for a Dishonorable or Under-Conditions-Other-Than-Honorable Discharge.

A little known fact, up until 6 months after enlistment, a recruit can elect to be released from the Military and it will be as if the soldier/marine/sailor/airman never enlisted. In such cases, the enlistee has not completed his/her service term, nor has he/she gotten into enough trouble (hopefully not, anyway) to deserve a Dishonorable.
