I was discharged in 1963, it was not honorable, but since then I have won the best business man of the year plus numerous other accolades, raised a family and have been successfuf
I was involuntarily separated from the Air force 20 years ago after reporting being bullied and harassed which caused me severe anxiety and ptsd. It was an honorable discharge that was labeled as a personality disorder and they have denied me and I feel helpless and violated. I don't know what else I can do
Keep talking to VA doctors files claims and go to all your appointments. I know exactly what you’re dealing with have similar problems but still can’t get disability for mental health.
Keep going, keep appealing. It took me 4 years and two denials and eventually I went to a vets clinic who got me in touch with a local vets advocate who helped me word my problems properly and file an appeal properly.
I served USN from 96-01, capped to e4 in 97 and made e5 in 98. Combat chief found a way to bust me back down to e4 so I wouldn't have a chance at e6 and end of my enlistment. I requested counseling for it . Bothers me to this day. Lost a paygrade, NAM, and I turned down shore duty tracking satellites in Key West. It's why I don't trust any1 now
Now you may be able to get medical for an injury from service if filed within one year etc. And can prove it's military. However because it's from basic your priority group will suck and getting help would take forever. You can review if the army followed their rules for that discharge by reviewing ar 635-200 requirements. Also do you have witnesses etc. About any hazings abuse harassment. That will help upgrade you as well. Also was medical malpractice committed that will help. Use google to review all the ucmjs. This way anything they did wrong you can get upgraded. Because after all they are uniformed. They are meant to be held to a higher standard. Also your under their care and command. Any wrongdoing would be like a babysitter or a teacher did wrong.
I received a general under honorable and I applied for the GI bill. You are still eligible but it goes off of your TIS (time in service) for a percentage
Got a couple of questions, #1 I just had my OTH discharge under a Chp 10 upgraded to General with honorable conditions. My question is can I go back and received benefits for the time served ? #2 My case went before the Military Upgrade Board and after my records were reviewed the board itself said and I quote, "There was a miscarriage of Justice" Now my question is if the review board saw that I was screwed over, Can I now go back and received the benefits I was screwed out of. #3 By my initial charges being proven there was a miscarriage of justice and, GET THIS, THEY DISCHARGED ME UNDER THE WRONG NAME ON A LEGAL DOCUMENT, so officially by the law I was never really legally discharged !!! Do I have legal grounds for back pay of 37 yrs ?

i was discharged from the army reserves in 2006 with honorable discharge and didnt find out until this year. now im seeking help and i cant find an avenue to start
Not true. Benefits depend on time served. I served 3 years and I have an honorable discharge from the army national guard. I was told I wasn’t eligible for benefits because I never did a tour across seas. Also I didn’t finish a minimum of 6 years. So while I have an honorable discharge I won’t be receiving any benefits. This came from the VA in the state of Alabama. If you guys know something different I would love to hear it.
I was active duty from august 1981 thru 1985 and inactive for couple more years, total Regular Army active and inactive was 6 years. Im being told im unable to receive any medical assistances. Your thoughts please.
Question. I have served 5 years active duty got out with 90% disability and 3 years national guard about to fully get out. But I still have pain and probably in my body from active duty. My question Is there still way I can claim medical discharge or to get 100% disability, while I am not in the military anymore? Thank you
Yes, although if you did less than 3 years plus training you get less than 100%. How much depends on how long you served before reenlisting. I got 90% because I reenlisted 15 days before my full time
Does a General - Under Honorable Conditions discharge make it more difficult to find employment? If so, how, specifically? When would it come up or be revealed? Thank you for the video.
From my experience now you’re fine, I did law-enforcement for a little bit and I’m engineer you’re fine. Just apply for a discharge upgrade. I’m still waiting for my decision letter.
@Randy TonnerII, generally speaking, If you feel you were other than honorably discharged for unfair reasons, you can file for a discharge upgrade at one of the Department of Defense’s Military Department Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records (BCM/NRs) if you discharge was not issued by a sentence of a general courts-martial.cck-law.com/blog/military-discharge-status-and-what-it-means-for-your-entitlement-to-va-benefits/
Have a good service records, but fraud entry, listening to the recruiter was wrong. Had two misdemeanors before joining. I told him too. He said to not tell anyone or you will have to wait up to 6months for waiver. I finished basic, and
I Graduated basic and then was told I was a IN-ACT holdover. I talked with everyone I could on base. All of my friends left and I was stuck at Benning. Even though I had graduated I was still treated like I was in basic. This was due to the fact that I didn’t disclose the fact that I had been arrested. No charges, no anything. I was kept on KP every day. My CO told my to just get out Of his face and go home after bugging him every day to go to my unit. He told me I could leave and then go to my local recruiters office and file paperwork for a general discharge. And that’s exactly what I did. They flew me to for Knox and I completed the paperwork. Am I still eligible for an upgrade? How to I even find out What my discount was. So long ago..1994. Thanks for all you guys help and God bless

Hey man I could REALLY use some answers... im getting my chapter 5-17 for depression and anxiety and a prior suicide attempt that i didnt go to the hospital for.... i was just wondering in order to get the chapter out do i need to have like diagnosed depression or anxiety...or is that what RBH does? Because i talked to RBH and they said im definitely getting one and ive been waiting for my 4707 for about a lil over a week now and i just really wanna be home before the end of this month... my stepdad is really ill and my dad has cancer so i want to be out in case something happens so I can take care of my mother...
I failed 2 back to back drug tests for marijuana AFTER returning from Kuwait, I was diagnosed with PTSD, depression and I had an allergic reaction to a medication I was given during my deployment. I was sentenced to 15 days in jail, given a BCD and sent home with nothing. To this day (12 years later) I still suffer from ptsd and I’ve had no help from the military...I know I messed up but I feel like my punishment was a little too harsh given my service up until that point.
California national Guard, deployed Feb 15, 2001 in may I fail urinalysis no classes offered separation with honorable under general Nov 10th, I'm trying for a va loan. Please help
Yo I got a question so what kind of discharge will u get if you fail the physical exam twice or if you are a marine reservist and did not show up for drill?
Hello, I was hoping you guys can assist me. I am a General Discharge. Should I just email you guys to obtain more info? Or anyone you can recommend me too.
@@kingofbeast6077 your service determines your discharge also admin does. So a general discharge is you had minor misconduct but not enough to be considered terrible. However if the military has done stuff wrong you can petition for a discharge upgrade. Administrative discharges come from the higher ups. Punitive discharges come from criminal convictions.
@@kingofbeast6077 if you want out of service sooner. You must have a good reason such as a mental or physical injury obtained while in service or some form of hardship that military service has either caused or will make worse and is unavoidable unless you leave. Hardship discharges however are usually granted by discharge upgrade boards. But it's also mainly for victims of sharp or abuse such as hazing or something. So pretty much they own you until your time is up. If leadership is found guilty of some form of abuse they will face dishonorable discharges. If its many individuals they may just discharge the command if they failed to respond. Commanders ultimately are responsible for everything and anything. If your a commander and fail to immediately act to accusations of abuse of leadership including move someone for their safety. Well your in serious trouble. If the military does anything at all. Most the time they will try to sweep it under the rug. If you falsely accuse a member of abuse etc. You could be in trouble.

Found a way? Sounds like you don't want to take accountability...also, that wouldn't end your enlistment unless you guilty of serious misconduct.
This was a really great and informative video! Thank you so much.
Thanks for your kind words! We're glad that we’re able provide information that can help our Veterans.
you need to know why the person did what they did before you pass judgement
What about an uncharacterized or els discharge. You guys didn’t mention that
What do you want to know.
Uncharacterized do not qualify from what i was told you gotta fill out a dd form 293 and show impropriety or equity issues.
Now you may be able to get medical for an injury from service if filed within one year etc. And can prove it's military.

Can an uncharachterized status be upgraded?

Yes, although if you did less than 3 years plus training you get less than 100%. How much depends on how long you served before reenlisting. I got 90% because I reenlisted 15 days before my full time
