Re: upgrade discharge

It would depend upon a complete review of the facts. To get an OTH you would have had to have had a separation board. An OTH is supposed to be reserved by regulation for the most heinous of offenses, so you may have grounds to get this upgraded if you have been a solid citizen since your discharge. However, there are no guarantees of success.
