WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials say Bowe Bergdahl, the Army sergeant recuperating from five years in Taliban captivity, enlisted in the Coast Guard in January 2006 but left after 26 days in basic training at Cape May, New Jersey.
A Coast Guard spokesman, Capt. Richard A. Hahn, said Wednesday that Bergdahl received a, quote, “uncharacterized discharge” on Feb. 25, 2006. That is a form of discharge for recruits who have served fewer than 180 days.
