"I don't want to throw cold water on this, but officers are discharged very differently than enlisted. When an enlisted person gets out, and once any inactive reserve time is up, they are discharged.'.....But.....

Are you sure? I got a DD214 on the day I walked out of the Fort Dix transit barraks and headed home. I still hadd IRR time left, and two years later had to go to 2 weeks summer camp in support of the NJ National Guard.

Yes, a discharge and a DD214 are different animals. I seperated twice from active duty and received a 214 both times, once enlisted and once commissioned. My HONORABLE [:)] discharges came later, two years later from enlisted and 2-3 years commissioned.
