    Army board for corrections of military records

    I can’t speak specifically to how the Army does it but I’d imagine it very similar to the Navy, especially since the Weilke Memo has the intended effect of standardizing the board. Your case number is attached to the date you package was received. If 18 months have elapsed (you don’t seem well...

    Discharge Upgrade

    You need to get a copy of what was submitted to make this separation happen and match it to the relevant AFI to discover what procedure was breached (?) and take it from there. Present your case to the DRB or AFBMC. USAF doesn't have clean hands when it comes to these matters.

    AFBCMR - Navigating Injustice: My Journey from Military Discrimination to Seeking Discharge Upgrade

    As CSAF, Gen Brown sent out a message regarding the racial disparity studies done in the DAF and reported a “lack of progress”. Also said as 1st Black CSAF he owns the problem. Nice words. Now he’s Chairman JCS. Those in the system cannot confront the problem and simultaneously keep their...

    Discharge Upgrade

    I don’t have anything to contribute but it could be helpful to know how long ago you were separated. Also, did you contest at ADSEP and MEDSEP boards. Depending upon timeframe, DRB could be your first avenue of redress. I guess I do have a contribution, after all. I go now…need coffee.

    Is a favorable BNCR decision final?

    And once the recommendation is acted upon is it then final?

    Is a favorable BNCR decision final?

    Can another agency contest a favorable BCNR opinion? For illustrative example: A veteran gets a favorable decision and then asks for the case to be re-opened due to another issue that wasn't reviewed and the entire case is then reviewed by JAG. Can JAG attempt to litigate the matter...

    Help with strange reply from BCNR

    There’s a lot of discussion in today’s military about “second chances” and how marijuana no longer being disqualifying if the person comes from a State that has legalized it, which his is one of those

    Help with strange reply from BCNR

    Thanks. He's been knocking on the doors of a few lawyers and a couple of them want to take his case. One guy even called him back a day or two later and dropped his fee by another 50%- I guess he really wants it, but he was the most expensive to start with.

    Help with strange reply from BCNR

    Sorry I didn’t see your reply. In their letter, they state that ‘although the request wasn’t filed in a timely manner, it is in the best interests of Justice the application is reviewed on the merits’. Seems they did waive Statute of Limitation, which is good. I guess what I’m trying to say is...

    Help with strange reply from BCNR

    I helped a friend put together a request for Board for Correction of Naval Records. He had a Special Court Martial, pled guilty to weed being in his system and was awarded Brig time, reduction to E-1 and a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD) back in 2003 timeframe. The circumstances of how he came to...

    PTA for contested cases

    I don't even know where to look...I suppose in theory it's possible that there could be a Pre Trial Agreement in place for a contested violation of UCMJ but what would be the benefit? There's no quid-pro-quo. Does anyone know: Has it ever been practically applied? (PTA in a contested case) I'm...

    Orders not showing correctly

    I had a post-9/11 deployment. My record was devoid of the dates of deployment. Out of due-diligence for VA disability claims, I queried the VA for the full file of what they knew. I found the dates of that deployment there. Point is: sometimes records aren't where they're supposed to be...

    Military members and mandatory vaccines

    I said "no" to the anthrax vaccine in 2002 was courtmartialed in 03. BCNR overturned in 19. It disappoints me that our government hasn't learned enough from those lessons to have handled this better. When COVID was voluntary, the Marines had the lowest acceptance rates, now they are leading the...

    Congressman

    In order to be effective it must be a constant campaign of pressure on the politician. They won’t do something just because it’s a good idea or the right thing to do, it has to fit in with other agendas. Sadly, that’s been my experience with trying to get legislation passed. Previous versions of...
