Legal Question in Military Law in Oklahoma

Discharge from the USMC

My sister has been dating a marine for a few years now. He was ''discharged'' from the USMC for having an affair on his wife. Our question is, can you be discharged from the USMC for such an act, or is there somethiong he is not telling us? If so, what are some of the reasons to be discharged?
