What Are the Chances of Getting My Request Approved for Upgrading My Discharge in the Us Military?…?
Question by pierre b: what are the chances of getting my request approved for upgrading my discharge in the us military?…?
I was in the u.s. airforce active duty discharged under honorable, (misconduct: drug abuse). i wanted to upgrade it to honorable. is it better to hire a lawyer for this case? the commander relied on the police report (information gathered from statements of my peers) that made his decision of my discharge. the reason i’m asking this is because im not eligible for unemployment benefit, mgibill, get a good job in a big company, and other veterans benefits. please help.
in addition, airforce charged me of abuse of prescription drugs (percocet) when my wisdom teeth were pulled. and peers added statements with the report stating that i party alot and did recreational over the counter drug abuse. I was drug tested during the whole investigation and it all tested negative. the dates and results are even stated in the police report. so.. is there still no hope? and if there’s none, can i still get my $ 1200 that i paid MGIbill for the past 12 mos. since im not qualified to use it anymore? thanks for replying.

If you were doing drugs, be a man and accept the dishonorable discharge, because you deserved it. Live with the consequences of your actions.
I’d feel bound by the code of honor I swore to to accept it.
If you didn’t do drugs (but I think you did) then sure. Then, you have the truth on your side and chances are you’ll be successful.
