you have to be a pretty special person to get a dishonorable discharge which is handed down by a general court martial which means you did something pretty bad. I have seen General and Other than Honorable used a lot. I think you have to wait 15 years to try and appeal it to a board. The gist of the appeal is that you have to prove you were innocent of the charges of the general court martial. Which ain't going to happen unless you have new evidence to prove your innocence.
