I did 8 years and 10 months active duty USN. 2 months before the end of my second enlistment came up I got early outed and given an RE3T code on my DD214. This has been haunting me for over 30 years considering everything I put up with
It took a long time to get my records. As far as I remember, I never got them in 1980. Had to get them after applying at the federal Bld in LA. That took approximately a year. It's put on CD.
Hi ladies ! I’m working on applying for a upgrade now as well . I have mst from the navy but was discharged for a drug charge . I receive benefits for mst from the VA and I finally built up the courage to work on this upgrade . I would like to make sure that when I submit these documents I have the best chance to get my rightful upgrade to honorable . I am also located in Florida myself … Thank you for this video and I hope to hear from you guys if possible.
I was involuntarily separated from the Air force 20 years ago after reporting being bullied and harassed which caused me severe anxiety and ptsd. It was an honorable discharge that was labeled as a personality disorder and they have denied me and I feel helpless and violated. I don't know what else I can do
I recently found clinical documentation on the Toxic effects of The Camp Lejeune water issue. Stating that the chemicals in the water TCE and PCE caused neurobehavioral issues among the soldiers that caused them to get discharged with bad paper. Which makes me question the mindset of the decision making back then in the 70's by NCO's and Officers since they also drank the same water and ate the food prepared with the water from the mess halls. Everybody stationed on base was affected by the toxicity. Here is part of the clinical study done on the toxins from Camp Lejeune: Neurobehavioral effects are conditions that have to do with the way the brain communicates with the nervous system, according to the National Institutes of Health. These effects can manifest as behavioral, emotional, physical or learning problems. Brain injury, illness or exposure to toxins - such as the chemicals in contaminated water from Camp Lejeune - can cause neurobehavioral effects. The symptoms of neurobehavioral effects depend on how much damage the brain has sustained. People with neurobehavioral effects typically report experiencing changes in mood, personality, attention and memory. Other neurological effects manifest as motor dysfunction, including coordination or balance problems. Certain chemicals can seriously affect the part of the brain that controls motor function and cause tremors, ticks and even Parkinson’s disease. Symptoms of neurological effects include: Anxiety Changes in mood or personality Confusion Depression Dizziness Fatigue Headaches Insomnia Involuntary muscle movements (dystonia or dyskinesia) Irritability Learning disorders Memory problems Motor problems (balance, coordination, etc.) Parkinson’s disease Poor concentration Tension Tremors Neurobehavioral effects from exposure to toxic chemicals may last anywhere from a few minutes to several years. Mild effects from low levels of chemicals and short exposures may be reversible, but severe damage from long-term chronic exposure to high levels of chemicals may be permanent. I was discharged with Bad Paper on numerous charges of disrespect, not following orders, not standing at attention, not picking up cigarette butts, etc. was sent for a psych eval and was diagnosed back in May 1974 with Mood Depression Psychosis, yet was kicked out for the Good of the service UD discharge, and labeled a recidivist. All because I was under the toxic influence of the water. Also the NCO's and Officers making decisions while under the same influence. Opening up a big can of worms now 48 years later. Back then the Doctors did not know nothing about the toxicity causing all the problems with Marines. i know that in my company at least 30-40 Marines were kicked out the same way, behavioral issues. This is all readily available information on the internet now. You should make a video on this issue to help us all out.
It has been 32 years since I was in the ARNG. In 2010 I was diagnosed with Schizo Affective Disorder, Bi-Polar Disorder, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, OCD. I did not agree with most of it and had another assessment done. Similar results. Got a Social Security Disability lawyer and was approved for Total and Permanent Disability through SSDI in 2012. In 2022 this year after a series of events I found out I could apply for a Discharge Upgrade and Reason for Separation change due to mental health disorders diagnosed decades after service. I have NVLSP handling the Discharge application to the Army BCMR. Now trying to apply a VA claim but there's the Character of Service problem which is UA. UA bars me from VA benefits but can be changed if there is service linking disability. Is it better to let the BCMR do the change of service or let the VA decide if a mental health disorder is caused from service?

How did it go ? Have you gone before the board ?

Thanks I’m going to try this. My case definitely isn’t what my records reflect

I'm sure she means well however, there are plenty of veterans with less favorable discharges that receive benefits.
