What types of military discharges would keep you from getting a government job?

A family member has an other than honorable discharge from 1999 and wants to apply for a position at the post office. He has kept his nose clean since then, but is concerned his military experience will get in the way.|||he may be able to apply for a change of discharge- maybe to a general, or soemthing to that sort... he can call a local JAG office at a military installation to find out more of that info





i don't think an other than honorable discharge can have the same affect as a dishonorable.





apply and find out|||A dishon. disch. would keep you from a lot of privileges ordinary citizens get, as well as getting a gov't job. A chapter 2 could keep you from a gov't job, if it's serious enough to impede your performance. Anything short of that, and you're still golden.
