Do you have a source for her getting section 8? Her discharge paperwork hasn’t leaked as far as I’m aware.
We have to do eight contracts in the US military. A portion of it is active and the rest is inactive. The contracts usually range between 3 and 5, to 6 and 2. The ones with longer active time are due to longer training requirements. So like the dorks that run the nuclear reactors for the USN have to do six years active.
Jackie's resume shows she didn't do nearly enough time to qualify for a normal discharge. It's also telling thar she doesn't include her discharge. You'd expect to see something like "Honorable under general conditions" since she ended her contract early.
Since she doesn't have a discharge rating listed, and her time is so short, I suspect she got an article 15 and was probably separated eith an other than honorable.
Based on the fact she was a wheeled vehicle mechanic, I suspect she got busted for adultery, probably with her NCO and "barrack lawyered" herself into a much worse outcome at her hearing.
I've seen idiots do this before.
Please note, this is conjecture on my part. I wasn't in the same branch as Jackie or worked as a wheeled vehicle mechanic.
What she is doing is what a lot of washouts do, which is lie through omission and try to scam unsavvy civilian employers.
In regards to her contractor work, this assholes were hiring any idiot desperate and fucked up enough.
