In 1985 I was discharged with an OTH. I had a special court martial did my confinement and had 2 months left on active duty. I was told I could Admin out and went home. I was not recomended for discharge at CM. DD-214 mailed to me with OTH Drug abuse. After 20 years do I stand a chance of getting upgraded?

Re: Upgrade OTH Discharge

1. The Discharge Review Board won't have jurisdiction of your case, because of the 15 years limitation. You'd have to try the Board for Correction of Military Records. Those are very difficult to have success at after such a long time. It would depend on the "drug" involved, and what you've done with your life since discharged.
