Correction of Military Records
The Board of Corrections of Military Records (BCMR) is set up to correct errors in your record or upgrade a discharge that was issued over 15 years ago based on the standards of clemency. First, you must exercise all other administrative options. You should attempt to exercise all of these options and then apply to the BCMR within 3 years of the injustice. If it is outside 3 years you will have to explain to the BCMR the reason for the delay in filing.
Some examples of items the BCMR could correct are results from physical evaluation boards and removing language shown to be improper in an evaluation report.
The BCMR cannot disturb findings of courts-martial.
If you are contemplating filing a petition to the BCMR you may do it on your own but you should also give serious consideration to hiring an attorney to help you prepare your argument.
Mr. Litka and Mr. Culp have experience in preparing arguments for clemency and injustices. Contact them for an initial consultation. |
