My son was separated a year ago from the Navy after serving over four years and having received all outstanding periodic reviews from each of his duty stations and schools. He had a DUI, no prior issues, at his last station and, while I will not go into the issues here, his Commander said he was going to make an "example" out of him and had him administratively discharged. He processed out and was told his DD214 would be mailed to him and that he was going to recieve a General Discharge under Honorable Conditions (whatever that means, no one seems to have a clue, not JAG or several recruiters I called). In any event, he has never received his discharge and in contacting the Navy, they say that his command did not process anything. I swear to heaven that is their story. They tell us that his records stop, as far as their file goes, when he was given orders sending him from his prior duty station to his "final" station. We have engage a Senator for assistance, but this stinks just a bit.


Assuming that he has the discharge as characterised by his last commander, will that qualify him for the Webb GI Bill?
