Chapter 13 (Unsatisfactory Performance) is the commander's judgment of your performance. Chapter 14 (Misconduct) is misconduct based on minor disciplinary infractions, a pattern of misconduct, commission of a serious offense, conviction by civil authorities, desertion, and absence without leave.

Chapter 14: a Discharge under other than honorable conditions is normally appropriate for a soldier under this chapter. However, the separation authority may direct a general discharge if such is merited by the soldier's overall record.
