Correction to Veterans Military Records. If you are in need of a correction to your Certificate of Release of Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214), you must submit a written request for a correction (DD Form 215) and include a copy of your DD Form 214.

Submit DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military Records to the relevant service branch. (You can either view and download the form, or right-click the form and select "Save link as" or otherwise save the file and then open it.)

PRINCIPAL PURPOSE(S): To initiate an application for correction of military record. The form is used by Board members for review of pertinent information in making a determination of relief through correction of a military record.

These actions normally take 3-4 months to complete after the Board's decision is published, depending on the number of agencies that must make corrections and the work load of the affected agencies and DFAS. Question: Can I receive compensation (damages) from the ABCMR based on a substantiated injustice I suffered?

Background: The BCNR was created by Congress in 1947 to provide a method for correction of errors or removal of injustices from current and former Navy and Marine Corps member's records without the necessity for private legislation. The BCNR is not a branch of NPC.

PRINCIPAL PURPOSE(S): To apply for a change in the characterization or reason for military discharge issued to an individual. The appropriate Military Service Discharge Review Board reviews submitted packages and makes determinations.

The titling record stays there for 40 years unless it is removed. You can appeal the records, but it is very difficult to have the record removed. The most common result is the record is corrected because it is inaccurate. For example, an Article 15 disposition sometimes gets recorded as a conviction, which it is not.

Other Than Honorable Discharge Having an OTH discharge on their DD-214 means the service member will not be entitled to veteran's benefits and will not be eligible to reenlist. Although an OTH is considered an administrative rather than a punitive discharge, it may have consequences in civilian life.

The Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) is the highest level of administrative review within the Department of the Army with the mission to correct errors in or remove injustices from Army military records.
