Actually, the undesirables all seemed to be dope smokers from the

There were many General Discharges, but some were kicked out with an
Honorable. If you were rif-raf you got a general, if you did your best
and just were not the military type, you could get an honorable. They
tried not to hammer guys who never should have been there. Recruiters
mistakes. Of course, none of it mattered to the clerks, we treated
everyone the same, helpful and polite. Your dough and walking papers
as soon as possible, good luck with your future.

Saw quite a few "unsuitables" come through the fireroom.
Don't know what happened to them. They just disappeared.
Mental discharges probably. We did our best to drive new guys crazy.
