Legal Question in Military Law in California

OTH from Marine Corps, then Honorable from Army

I was discharged from the Marine

Corps in 2001 for failure to

participate in reserve activities. I

received an OTH with an RE-4. I

realized that I had made a massive

mistake, and after a long process was

accepted into the Californa National

Guard. I served on active duty for a

year, finished my RSO and was

discharged honorably with an RE-1.

So where do I stand with the Naval

services now? Does my new DD214

and finishing my original service

obligation correct my past errors?

Any advise that could be offered

would be greatly appreciated.

No, you would still have to apply to the Navy-Marine Corps Discharge Review Board.

You could use your post-discharge service and activity to help try and persuade the Board to upgrade.
