Getting Out: A Guide to Military Discharges
This booklet summarizes many of the options and resources available for administrative discharges from the armed services. We are offering three ways to obtain this booklet for free:
- Collective Copies, 93 Main Street in downtown Florence, has donated free copies of this booklet. Just walk in and pick one up.
- The CCCO's website, objector.org, has an online version. It is slightly out-of-date, but it has links to other important resources such as a longer book of advice for CO's.
- On this website you can find an Adobe Acrobat version for printing. It is in pamphlet form, 2 pages per side, so printing is a little tricky (on a laser printer, print odd pages first, put the paper back in the input tray, then print even pages in reverse order).
The Central Committee for
Conscientious Objectors
The publisher of this pamphlet, the Central Committee for
Conscientious Objectors (CCCO), supports and promotes individual
and collective resistance to war and preparations for war.
It seeks to provide full and accurate information about military
life and war to individuals affected by military service, conscription,
and recruitment. Since our founding in 1948, CCCO�s counselor
network has helped tens of thousands of people serving in
the military or facing conscription.
The GI Rights Hotline
The GI Rights Hotline is answered by the GI Rights Network, a
coalition of nonprofit, non-governmental counseling agencies who
provide information to members of the military about discharges,
grievance and complaint procedures, and other civil rights. A
trained counselor can be reached at (800) FYI-95GI (or (800) 394-
9544). Outside the United States, call (215) 563-4620 or email
girights@objector.org.
