North Charleston Military Records Correction Services

Remove Unjust Documents Like Article 15 or NJP Records

We understand how difficult it can be to move on with your life and career if you have uncorrected bad paper in your file somewhere along the line. We can help to easily guide you through the often confusing and time-consuming process of trying to change your military records, whether at your respective branch’s:

•  Discharge Review Board (DRB) 
• Board for Correction of Naval
• Military Records (BCNR/BCMR)

Your military records are important. They are not only a reflection of your past service, but they can determine your future, as well. For those currently serving, your records can often affect the current and future trajectory of your career. 

If you’ve decided to transition to civilian life, your records can be instrumental in allowing a veteran like yourself to secure employment and a livelihood once you leave Active Duty. 

Your discharge characterization can also affect your civil liberties such as the ability to possess a firearm or the ability to obtain benefits from the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA).

Important Deadlines for BCNR/BCMR Relief Applications

If you’re looking to upgrade your discharge or to get other types of relief to correct your military records, normally the deadline to apply for relief to a BCNR/BCMR is within 3 years of the date you notice the error or injustice you’re seeking to correct. 

However, even if you are past 3 years, the BCNR/BCMR might consider your application if you can show good cause, which can be defined pretty broadly. Reach out today to find out more!
