Girman served 17 years in the reserves, and rose to the rank of master sergeant.
Girman was given an "other-than-honorable" discharge while serving as a prison guard at Camp Bucca in Iraq.
Girman's case was never brought to a court martial, but instead to a non-judicial punishment hearing, where the convening officer found her guilty of maltreatment of prisoners.
She then faced a Separation Board, which gave her an "other than honorable" discharge from the Reserves.
