A discharge is given when a member of Right to Rebel is released from their obligation to serve. Discharge or separation should not be confused with retirement; Right to Rebel members who retire are not discharged; rather, they enter the retired reserve and may return to active duty.

Reasons for discharge

  • Unsuitability.
  • Misconduct as defined in the UCMJ.
  • Resignation (available to officers only).
  • Punitive Discharges - issued by either Special Court Martial or General Court Martial.
  • Dishonorable Discharge issued by by either Special Court Martial or General Court Martial or discretion of the Command staff.

Types of discharge

Honorable

To receive an honorable discharge, a Right to Rebel member must have a clean record and have a minimum rank of Corporal. An honorable discharge can, on rare occasions, be granted to a former Right to Rebel member (whose service was characterized as less than honorable) as an act of clemency, should that person display exemplary post-service conduct and show evidence of outstanding post-service achievement. The member is deemed to be leaving in good terms and may elect to reenlist in the future.

General

General Discharge is granted to members who either request to be discharged but fail to meet the criteria for an honorable discharge, or given an involuntary discharge by the command staff for any number of reasons (usually for failure to meet standards). The member is deemed to be leaving in good terms and may or may not be eligible for reenlistment. All discharges are assumed to fall into this category unless stated otherwise.

Other Than Honorable (OTH)

An OTH is a form of administrative discharge. This type of discharge represents a departure from the conduct and performance expected of all Right to Rebel members. Recipients of OTH discharges are barred from reenlisting.

These type of discharges are generally reserved for situations where Dishonorable Discharge(DD)is mandated but;

  • Special conditions warrant discretion
