The VA will believe it to be a discharge for dishonorable reasons or, if uncharacterized, it means that the individual was not in the military at all. If the individual obtains a General Discharge, the individual has all benefits accessible to them apart from education benefits. The only way to have a discharge upgraded is to fill out DD Form 293.
Typically, the Army labels the discharge "uncharacterized", if it is a discharge, due to administrative circumstances. These admin. circumstances can be reasons such as not completing enough reserve drill and falling off the rolls. I think you are going to have to find a way to note this on the background check (in an explanation text box or ...

It should not impact your job searches and it is not going to show up on a background check. Please let me know if you have more questions.

He got what is known as an Entry Level Separation (ELS). This can only be awarded during the first 180 days of service. Since its only awarded early in the process, the commander is allowed to make the characterization as "uncharacterized".

If you did not complete your initial term of service, and were discharged prior to entry onto active duty, or within 180 days of entry onto active duty, an uncharacterized discharge is appropriate. This is called an entry level separation or ELS. The fact the recruiter did not tell you of the potential negative impacts will not serve as a basis ...
