The 8 Nov 1945 discharge makes sense for for one reason. Most enlistments were for " The Duration of the War plus 6 months". The War in Europe ended 8 May 1945, 8 Nov is 6 months after the war & Japan had surrenderd by then.
Lauren, see my post in the research section on Locating & Obtaining a discharge, it has info on getting records from the VA.
