OCI application along with military status

[ThomasC1126]

I am an American citizen, and I am married to an Indian national. In future, I plan to apply for OCI and settle in India. In OCI application, they ask if I have served in Military. So my question is this... If I was discharged from the US military with an OTH (Other than honorable discharge) would I mark yes or no under the question. I technically didn't complete my term and I don't receive any veteran benefits. If I say yes however, I automatically don't qualify for the OCI card... So, I am wondering what to do. I am not even sure if my records would show up that I have served military... If I mark yes, is there a way I can get OCI because Ideally, I am not eligible for it because of my military service.

AFAIK anyone who served in the military (or any defense force) will not get OCI approved/renewed, even if they had an OCI before joining the military.
