Military discharge in Themiclesia is the process by which a member of the armed forces leaves service.
Relative to the dignity and state as they are retained after discharge, the ancient Themiclesian law provides that if an officer leaves office "with justification" (以理去官), that officer is permitted to retain the rank, precedence, and dignity conferred as part of the final office as well as any personal dignity after they have relinquished that office. This privilege does not extend to emoluments, however.
Officers who leave office (whether with justification or not) are required to return their insignia of office (such as their seals and the seals' ribbons and pouches) to the Chancery Department. There is a day each month appointed for this procedure, and as of 2020 it is the third working day of a calendar month in the Gregorian calendar. It is customary to present a farewell memorandum, addressed to the Chancellor, at this opportunity, unless one is also entering into a different office at the same time. The seal is placed into the pouch and closed with the ribbon and handed to an officer in the department in a simple ceremony.
There is no finite list of reasons whereby to leave office that constitutes a justified departure from office. Common reasons include retirement for old age, illness, the abolition of the office itself, leaving office at the end of its term (if applicable), etc. Conversely, there is a finite list of conditions whereby leaving office is considered without justification, and these are dismissal on the grounds of incompetence and conviction of crimes. By way of custom, if an officer has left office voluntarily and is not dismissed on the grounds of incompetence or for crimes, conditions are presumed to be justified unless later challenged and overturned in a court of law.
