How do i upgrade my general under honourable conditions discharge to an honourable discharge? Will I have a better chance of reenlistment?

PV2 Tommy Smith - You have the whole issue confused your paperwork did not upgrade your status too reenlist. It was upgraded only to cover medical. This Does not Allow you to reenlist.

SGT Dan Gray -
It's because of dumb asses like you that give out miss information why I do not post in hear. I never said anything about a Discharge upgrade. It was in reference to a VA Charter of Discharger Determination. The VA can and will determine if your discharge is honorable for VA for VA Benefits. Most of the time its for PTSD due to MST or other Mental Health issues that the military doesn't want to deal with thus UTH or administrative discharger. You say Facts are Facts. Hare are some facts. Fact the VA has rated me @ 70% PTSD and a 100% Total and Permanent. I have been issued VA ID cards. The DOD issued military ID cards to both myself and my wife the same as if I was retired with 20 years. There is a reason why you never made it past Staff Sargent. Because of the advise of people like you it took 40 years to get treated and another 3 to get my benefits. Oh and there is no need to post any more of your "Barracks School of Law" crap as there is no need to be hear again.

A board, before any claim was made or denied or basic appeal was made? Shit, I appealled and have had board appeals waiting since before covid...and still not been sent a letter for board date

PV2 Tommy Smith - GM, fellow warrior. I like that you stood up to a "stripe-toter", a creature that emulates having any real power, much like a newbie deputy...
That's the same type of individual that would likely claim some special status because of having be drafted or having lucked out that there was a hot war during their enlistment, but having never actually faced any true danger or violence, even from Mother Nature, like being exposed in a few tornadoes, surviving a few hurricanes, auto accidents galore, or a motorcycle wreck at over 65 MPH and thanking God for little more than scratches.
Give some a taste of what they perceive as power, they'll prove they haven't the metal of true leadership.
And, sadly, those are the brown-nosers that usually worm their way through life, attempting to make others as miserable as they are.

take all your paperwork to a recruiter and ask... if it takes a wavier or some signatures, do it!

SFC Boyd still got it haha

CPT Lawrence Cable - Even with a General under honorable, a prior-service member may be eligible to enlist. It will depend on the RE-code on his DD214 and if it is waiverable if not an RE-code of 1.

CPT Daniel Cox - You can also be eligible to for the VFW if you serve in South Korea due to it still be considered a zone of conflict. I know soldiers that only did exercises in Korea that were equaled more than 60s days and that met eligibility - There are two qualifiers for membership in the VFW, as set out in our National Bylaws. An individual must meet both in order to become a member. They are as follows:

1: Honorable Service – must have served in the Armed Forces of the United States and either received a discharge of Honorable or General (Under Honorable Conditions) or be currently
serving.

2: Service in a war, campaign, or expedition on foreign soil or in hostile waters*. This can be proven by any of the following:

- An authorized campaign medal (see a full list of qualifying medals and badges)
- Receipt of Hostile Fire Pay or Imminent Danger Pay (verified by a military pay statement)
- Service in Korea for 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days

*This information is usually available through a veteran’s DD-214. If other information is needed or if a veteran’s DD-214 is not complete, they can contact the National Personnel Records Center online or at [login to see] to request more information.

CW4 (Join to see) - I pointed that out at the top of this thread. "However, certain entry level discharges still allow you to enlist again based on the RE code."

CPT Lawrence Cable - that is correct. I knew a person that was separated from the service on active duty due to misconduct (article 15s) but then was able to get in the National Guard some years later through a TAG waiver. Finished his 20 years.
