You do not state your immigration status. I am assuming this is an issue, as your question is posted within the immigration category.
If you are not a U.S. citizen you will want to consult with an immigration attorney immediately to discuss the charges against you.
Best wishes with this process.

Ok. Bottom line: DEAL WITH THE PRESENT. You have serious charges against you, and you're thinking about Europe????
The information you seek will depend on the country, so you should go to the Embassy websites of the country in question.
Will they know about your dishonorable discharge? Probably, b/c they have records on active servicemen.
Will it matter? Possibly, given the high level of scrutiny passengers carry.
Will you get stopped/searched at the airport? Probably, b/c you already have a drug conviction and it doesn't take racial profiling to know that drug dealers use airplanes.
Advice? Focus on getting your life together to minimize that harm your conviction will do to the rest of your life. If it carries a period of incarceration, you will only be making things worse by trying to leave the country.
