Possible Consequences Of A Dishonorable Discharge
A dishonorable discharge can lead to potentially severe fallout, including the loss of critical veterans benefits. Additionally, it could make it difficult to find work, as employers often look unfavorably upon applicants with a less-than-honorable discharge. You may even lose civilian rights, such as owning firearms and disqualification from federal employment.
What Does A Discharge Upgrade Accomplish?
A successful discharge upgrade can change your status to honorable, reopening doors to previously lost benefits and opportunities. It can remove the harmful stigma associated with a dishonorable discharge, providing closure and recognition for your military contributions.
What Is The Process Of Upgrading?
Essentially, it involves applying for a discharge upgrade through the Discharge Review Board (DRB) or the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR). The appropriate board will review the details of your case and make a decision.
A compelling argument and detailed documentation demonstrating that the discharge was improper or inequitable can improve the odds of success.
