I am in HR with a government agency and when we receive an applicant that has this type of discharge we ask that applicant to submit a written explanation of the events that led to the discharge. Generally if the explanation appears to be honest and the person seems to have learned from the mistakes made, the application goes through. This also depends on the severity of the events of course. Beware of lying... the DD214 should have a chapter code on the bottom and most government employers know the meaning of each chapter. If the statement doesn't coincide with the chapter, you can forget it. In my experience the only discharge that will absolutely prevent you from government employment is a Dishonorable.
