If you got out of the military with a discharge that’s been holding you back, you’re not alone. We talk to veterans all the time who received General or Other Than Honorable discharges. It’s been costing them jobs, VA benefits, and peace of mind for years. The truth is, you can do something about it.

At RMVAP, we’ve helped hundreds of veterans from all branches upgrade their discharges. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force—we’ve seen it all. Some had combat trauma that was never treated. Some got caught in outdated policies. Others made one mistake that’s followed them ever since. Whatever your story is, we can help you tell it.



What’s a Discharge Upgrade?

A discharge upgrade is a formal request to change the way your separation from the military is listed. If it’s successful, you could go from Other Than Honorable to General, or General to Honorable. That one change can open the door to VA healthcare, disability pay, housing programs, and more.

It’s not an easy process, and it takes time, but it’s possible. And we know what works.

You Might Qualify If:

• You were dealing with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, or another mental health issue
• You experienced military sexual trauma or harassment
• You were discharged because of your sexual orientation or gender identity
• You made a mistake under stress, and it doesn’t reflect your whole service
• You’ve changed since leaving the military and want your record to reflect that

What the Process Looks Like

When you come to RMVAP, here’s what we do:

• We help you get your full military records
• We work with you to write a personal statement that tells your story in your own words
• We gather support materials like buddy letters, medical records, and evaluations
• We file the application and stay involved the whole way

You don’t need to figure out which board to send it to. If it’s been under fifteen years, we send it to the Discharge Review Board. If it’s been longer, we go to the Board for Correction of Military Records. Either way, we’ll handle it.

Why This Matters

This isn’t just about getting into the VA system, even though that’s a big part of it. It’s about fixing a record that never told the full story. A discharge upgrade can give you access to health care, financial support, job opportunities, and maybe most important of all, the recognition you’ve earned.

You served. Let’s make sure your record shows that.
