How can I get help appealing the BCNR on a decision they made I feel was not justified?

I was done wrong by a Commander and a 1stSgt in Europe caused my career to end sooner than I wanted. I was forced to retire. I never received any help from the Enlisted side. I received more support from the Officers side and received a letters requesting consideration in my case from a Colonel and a CWO4 showing the Commanders disservice. I just want what was already earned and was stolen from me by a bad Commander. I should've brought charges up on the Commander but had no support or guidance. Looking for any Legal Advice or assistance.

You feel that it was not justified? Yet did it get reviewed by JAG? Forced to retire- so it went up the CoC to your Branch or equivalent, and you didn't dispute it? I don't know about USMC, but in the Army to would have been reviewed by at least 3 levels of command.

As others here answered already, I, similarly, obviously can't offer you any help about your specific questions here, I know nothing about such things at all...however, I was interested when you said you'd retired...I realize that, typically, once one militarily retires, ordinarily, one can't seek to serve any longer at all, I've seen considerable material about that...however, I'd seen you were listed as being a fixed wing aircraft transport specialist, certainly a highly technical and I'd think quite valuable skill set...so, I was merely wondering...have you ever considered, though I realize you're of course devoted to USMC, trying for another SVC in an analogous career field? Obviously, I have no idea if, having gotten your retirement, whether you could seek to serve in a different service, I !merely had wondered if the idea had at least !merely occurred to you to ask about at all? After all, I'm sure Army, USAF, or USCG could certainly possibly use your training, maybe with realignment, training for different aircraft, however, I merely offer it as a thought, honest...then, too, if you might perhaps elaborate on educational stuff, associates, bachelors, any grad-level coursework, outside work since you'd retired, whether you'd stayed in aviation at all, also, whether you'd ever gotten FAA airframe and powerplant (A&P) licensure, that also struck me as relevant, certainly, you know? For example have you gone back for any further aviation related training of any kind, on any airframe(s)? Any pilot training, even if only FAA sport pilot, private pilot, instrument rating, multiengine, commercial at all? Have you been involved industrially in aviation, such that, if you were to seek to be boarded for trying for another svx, at any level, in aviation, that your outside exposure oost-retirement might help? Then, too, have you considered Army technical warrant, I'd seen an Army MOS 151A for At!y technical warrant in aviation maintenance, I don't know what the analogous AFSCs would be for USAF, or the rates for USCG, however, I'd just wondered, honest...then, also, have you explored trying to civil service with one of the services, whether USMC or any other svc at all? I know also that the NOAA Corps has its own aviation fleet, fixed and rotary wing, as well, I know nothing about their civil service career fields who work with their active duty personnel...and, have you had any rotary wing aircraft exposure of any kind as well? Would aero engineering interest you at all? Possibly NASA civil service? Or any other aviation related Federal civil service, maybe associated with the military...as I'd said, I completely understand that such things might not interest you, I think, hopefully, that I can perceive why, I'm merely asking ifmyoud considered such alternatives, if only to just ask about...obviously, I know nothing aboutnyour retirement circumstances, nor is it my place to ask, I !merely thought to suggest such things, though, as I'd said, I have no idea if going back into another svc, requesting an exception to do so, would even be possible, just procedurally, apart from your own individual circumstances and/or preferences...honestly, that's as far as my reasoning takes me, however, of certainly be most interested in whether you've ever given such notions any thought, or if you might possibly think them as having any potential merit, or at all worth exploring, purely as other options, honest, I hope that was at least of some possible use and/or interest, if it's not, I of course completely understand, certainly, I hope that was of at least some help, so far as I might've suggested anything of any possible use, many thanks....
