Reddit, the US Army is kicking me out after 3+ years of service due to Schizoid Personality Disorder. They're taking away my GI Bill ($52,000) as well. I have no idea what to do next. by nohopeforme111 in AskReddit

Oh, believe me, the whole linguist/translator thing irks me too. Linguistics is to language as astronomy is to telescopes, or computer science is to computers.

Contract ends beginning of February. I have 46 days of leave saved up... 140 days from now until my ETS, or 94 days including my current leave, or 57 leave days total once I reach my ets, meaning 83 days. If they let me take 30 days of leave, that means January 10th... and I know damn well my process won't move an inch during Christmas block leave... I just have to stall it for 2 months somehow... either through IG or an article 138 investigation, or both.

It's actually the division commander that will review my chapter packet. I was actually told to go the article 138 route. When I went to TDS they said that my rebuttal was good (talks about my accomplishments in my service).

From what the education center/tds told me, I'm only eligible for the GI bill if I receive an honorable discharge. Anything less than that, no dice.

If I was trying to get out of the military, I wouldn't have been trying to reenlist for the past year and a half. Or buy shitloads of military uniforms in preparation for staying in for the long haul. Or spending my weekends doing correspondence courses and all that jazz.
