You need to hire an attorney where you son is/was stationed who specializes in military law to sort this out. Best of luck.*******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******

Hold onto that DD214. Do not let it out of your sight and make multiple copies in different locations. That will be the basis for your argument that there is no jurisdiction for a court-martial. They will undoubtedly argue that the discharge was a mistake and that they retain jurisdiction. You will need a good attorney to represent your son, either at the court-martial or in seeking his release.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions.
