There is no such discharge that I know of that is SPECIFICALLY other than honorable. It is just a generic way of saying he did NOT receive an HONORABLE DISCHARGE.
So he received a General/Undesireable/Bad Conduct or a Dishonorable discharge, ONE OF THESE FOUR. Unless things changed in the past 20 years or so since I retired.

There are FIVE types of military discharges:
1. Honorable
2. General
3. Other-than-Honorable
4. Dishonorable
5. Bad Conduct (a.k.a. "The Big Chicken Dinner".
You actually have to try pretty hard to get an OTH. Service members that have been conviced of a non-violent felony or extreme NJP get them. The key is the re-enlistment code.

OTH-Discharge was definitely an option you didn't want. I don't recall "Undesirable" unless that's to mean anything other than an "Honorable Discharge"
