Legal Question in Military Law in Texas
Not True.
I have an uncharacterized discharge and I DO have a DD214 to inspect. You also MUST state on your police background or history packet that you WERE in the military with this uncharacterized discharge. I was denied employment with Ft. Worth PD only because of this. I passed verything else to become a police officer and even passed the polygraph with the reason stated in my background as to why I got out. An attorney answered another persons question about upgrading and he said that basically uncharacterized means that we were never in and do not have a DD214. Hogwash! I have one that states clearly my seperation.

Re: Not True.
You need to talk to a lawyer that understands military law. You have what is called an "entry level separation" with an "uncharacterized" discharge.
Each service has a regulation on this - the Army's is AR 635-200, and para. 3-9, explains ELS - uncharacterized separations.
There is a lawyer in the Dallas-FW area that does both military and administrative law, which is what you need. His name is Jeffrey Glass and his number is in the phone book or google him - he's got a website.
Good luck to you.
