Seek to Upgrade Your Discharge

If you were discharged under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” or under the prior regulations regarding sexual orientation and would like to upgrade your discharge characterization, SLDN may be able to help you challenge the discharge through the Board of Corrections for Military Records (BCMR). The standard of review at these boards is high and upgrades are not guaranteed, but SLDN is prepared to discuss the specifics of your case in further detail.
