46. Other than honorable or general depending on the situation
http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/arbasicpol/blels.htm

Dishonorable Discharges are almost never given in basic training.
The view is that these are teenager citizens not soldiers yet.
The military is not for everyone so if they are discharged usually they are given a General Discharge w/ reason being "failure to adapt" to military life.
Bad cases will get an "Other than honorable"

Neither are considered felonies. Neither would prevent a successful NICS check.
