Question:
I was discharged from the army back in the 1990s, two months into basic training, because of a preexisting curvature of the spine. What would my discharge be and do I have a chance for VA assistance?

I'm not sure how you think I would know about your discharge? I'd have to guess it was your responsibility to keep up with important documents that reference your brief time in service. Much the same applies so far as any 'assistance' or benefits would go. I'll assume you're looking for health care and there are a wide variety of variables that can affect your eligibility for care.
