    Honorable Discharge/Personality Disorder Haunting me

    I would appreciate if anyone could comment on my particular situation? It's been ten years since my discharge from the NAVY. I received an Honorable Discharge but in the narrative reason for separation says personality disorder.
    This was due to a psycological evaluation done after being deprived of suficient sleep for two weeks. I was sleeping an average of two to three hours a day at the most while underway for training excercises. The reason for such punishment. I brought to the attention of my supervisor that all the junior enlisted personel under him where using drugs (marijuana, heroin). What I didn't know was that my supervisor was also using. So I went to the top of his sh*t list.
    I beleive any sane human being would have verbalized wanting to kick his supervisors a*s under the same circumstances. That was enough to be labeled an individual with a personality disorder by the NAVY shrink. In less than five days I was on my way home. During the year and a half that I was active, I received comendation letters from the CO for exemplary perfomance, above average evaluations and had absolutely no disciplinary actions against me.
    Assuming no other negative situations in my past, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me if this single incident would disqualify me from becoming an NYPD PO? Do background investigators take into considerations the details? Thanks

    not sure if it would DQ you or not, but what it may very well be looked at is that you were "dodging" your enlistment. whether that was the case or not, it can be interpreted that way

    Thanks for your response. On your aseveration obout dodging my enlistment comitment I assure you it's not correct. During my discharge process I requested an opportunity to explain myself to my CO. I was told by the chaplain it would do no good because he had already made his decision. I found this very disapointing.

    You will lose nothing if you apply and see what happens. You stand to lose "everything" if you shoot yourself down without trying.
