text: will a guhc discharge fom the army keep me from getting a firefighter position in florida? was discharged under honorable conditions for a one time drug use. spent a year in iraq. and i wanna be a firefighter in florida. how bad am i hurting you need to speak with someone in the fire dept. in florida that you are interested in. the bozos that answers these questions here don't really know. but i do know that your general discharge can be appealed and turned into an honorable discharge after 6 months, but you need to persue it. and that can't hurt at all.
