Asked 4/21/2009

If I enlisted in the Army Reserves but got an honorable personal dischage before boot camp can I still claim I was in the service on applications?

I enlisted and approximately 2 or 3 months after I got a personal discharge for family reasons and had to option to keep my military insurance. I want to know that even though I did not complete basic training do I still have the option to put that I was in the military on applications for employment and loans? I had the option to re enlist after I believe 2 years but I couldn't as I was pregnant. Thank You

If you have an honorable discharge from the military, then yes, you can claim you were in the service. If you were ever asked, you can provide a copy of your honorable discharge.

 
 

Answer 2/2 - Submitted 4/25/2009

I know it was a personal discharge and I asked if it was honorable (because I didn't do anything wrong....I just needed to raise small children whom just came into my life) and the recruiting officer handling my paperwork said yes. I just didnt know if I could claim it as service duty because I did not go through basic training. I only did my 2 weekends a month until I was discharged. Thank You
