Board for Corrections of Military Records

A less-than-accurate military record can have a significant impact on your life. Military Law Center understands the importance of a fair and accurate record, and we can help you navigate the process of correcting errors or injustices through Boards for Correction of Military Records (BCMR).

Each military branch has a BCMR with the authority to review and correct military records. These boards can address a variety of issues, including:

• Administrative discharges:
  Upgrading an unfair discharge characterization (Other Than Honorable, General Under Honorable Conditions) to an Honorable discharge.
• Punitive discharges:
  Correcting discharges resulting from courts-martial if errors or injustices occurred.
• Non-judicial punishments:
  Addressing inaccuracies or unfairness in non-judicial punishment actions.
• Reprimands and Evaluations:
  Seeking the removal of undeserved reprimands or inaccuracies in evaluation reports.

An inaccurate military record can have lasting consequences, potentially affecting your:

• Eligibility for VA benefits:
  An Honorable discharge is often a requirement for full access to VA healthcare and other programs.
• Employment opportunities:
  Some employers may view a less-than-honorable discharge negatively.
• Future education and training:
  Certain educational benefits and training programs may be restricted based on discharge characterization.

The Importance of Legal Expertise

The BCMR application process can be complex and involves strict deadlines and evidence requirements. An experienced attorney can:

• Evaluate your eligibility for correction.
• Gather and organize necessary documentation.
• Develop a compelling case to present to the BCMR.
• Navigate the legal intricacies of the process.
