Getting Out: A Guide to Military Discharges

  • This booklet provides information on administrative discharges from the US military. No discharge is easy to get but with the information in this guide you can be well prepared for seeking an administrative discharge.
  • Before you try to get any of the discharges described in this booklet, contact the GI Rights Hotline at 800 394-9544 (if you are outside the US call 215 563-4620). A counselor can discuss the various discharges with you, help you decide if one is good for you, explain procedures, work with you to gather the necessary documents, and support you throughout the process.
