A friend of mine is soon to go to court against a real scoundrel, a man who has a history of intimidating and battering women. We recently found out from a third party, (his ex-wife) that he has been lying about his status as a veteran of the Navy. He has told everybody that he was granted a "general discharge" when in reality, he was given a "dishonorable discharge" for beating up his wife, who was also in the Navy at the time they were married. Is his "discharge status" public information or is that not available to the public. My friend would like to bring this up in her extension of a "no contact order" at her court date in January.
