In case anyone feels like sleuthing. Every link in this article from Daily Kos 2013 is bad
which I find interesting. The other thing is it is about the possibility that Mitch McConnell got out of the service because of sodomy. I would not necessarily pay much attention but Daily Kos is a decent news source.
First, please don't flame me. I just found information and I'm passing it along. Since all the links are bad I couldn't verify anything. But I'm sure the web pages are archived.

The Strange and Possibly Sordid Story of Mitch McConnell's Military Service
Ohio Citizen ?@OhioCitizen
I don't know if Judd is running but McConnell is going to have a hard time. His court martial for sodomy in 67 will be huge.
Naturally, I asked for clarification, and got this. Before seeing this tweet, I had had no idea that McConnell had ever served in the military.
The OP's speculations were summarily dismissed, but I was sufficiently intrigued to dig a little deeper. Most of the information that I found is from 2007/2008. I'm really surprised that it didn't get more press. But as a result, the information that I did find was fairly thin.
Here are the basic, very skimpy facts: Mitch McConnell was classified 2-S ("Registrant deferred due to activity in study"
on August 8th, 1962, and remained as such until May 4th, 1967. Source, through HillBilly Reports
He enlisted in either March 1967 or in July 1967 and served at Fort Knox in the 100th Division (Training) of the U.S. Army Reserve until August 15, 1967. He was assigned Selective Service number 15-131-42-44.
