When someone is discharged from the Army, do they get some kind of payout? Is it actually a loan?
I know a guy that was "let go". He was in the Army for nine years, but they would not promote him so they discharged him.
(He may have a pain pill addiction too. He had to get an abscess removed on his leg and they would not give him painkillers. Maybe that is why he was discharged.)
Supposedly they gave him $60,000 and he is spending it on toys and tats. I am wondering if he will have to pay it back some day.
Any idea?

No idea. I know there's some kind of enlistment bonus, but I'm not aware of any kind of severance pay.

So if he's the officer that didn't get promoted, he doesn't have a job, and he's spending it all on Skidoos or motorcycles, and some highly attractive tatts, I can kind of understand why he was involuntarily discharged from the service.
