I am a US soldier been in the Army for 6 years
to make story short I am getting discharge from it under general conditions because of my sexual orientation.... I never came out to my commander or even discussed my sexuality with any one, I totally lived by the dont ask dont tell......
A sad event in my life caused my commander to know about my orientation and being confronted with physical evidence I couldnt deny it.
Being horribly scared, not knowing what to do lead me to a path of depression and I was just informed that the type of discharge I will receive will be under general conditions.
I was a bit relieved but I heard a fellow NCO say that if u dont have an honorable discharge u can kiss ur dreams of being anything in life good bye
basically I was told with my type of discharge I'll have to flip burgers at mcdonalds for the rest of my life
is this true?
Will my life be destroyed because of the general discharge for being a L*****n?
please help me, I am still in the Army so YES I am a proud NCO that lives by the army values!!
