being processed out of the Army with the most severe type of military administrative discharge -- an "other than honorable discharge."

I did not realize that an OTH discharge was worse than a Bad Conduct discharge. Crimeny, I wish "journalists" would at least put a tiny bit of effort to get things right in their stories, instead of going for sensationalism at every turn..

It isn’t.
A big chicken dinner isn’t an administrative discharge, it requires a court martial.

It isn’t. An OTH is the worst administrative discharge. BCD and DD are punitive and can only be given at a court martial.

It is the most severe “administrative” discharge. Honorable, General and Other than honorable are all admin level discharges.

The OTHDis sometimes referred to as an administrative BCD because of the nature of conduct required to earn it and the stigma attached. A commissioned officer will not not receive a BCD at court martial. Dismissal is the punitive separation.

A “Big Chicken Dinner” discharge is the worst one.

You are correct.

Other Than Honorable Discharge is the worst you can get as an Administrative Discharge. A BCD takes a Courts Martial.

The article is correct.
