How Long Does it take for a general under honorable condition to upgrade to a honorable discharge?
It doesn't. The only way for a General (under honorable conditions) discharge to be upgraded is to go before the Board of appeals. Even then, your chances of getting an upgrade are slim (less than 1%) Even in the best of situations, if you did successfully appeal and get an upgrade, it would still be on your records because that (Honorable) was not the original characterization of discharge, and there is a code that identifies it as such. The above answer is partially correct. The characterization of service does not automatically upgrade to Honorable...ever. Members can apply to the Discharge Review Board (DRB) for their respective service to be considered for a change of characterization. Upgrades are few and far between.
Can a senator upgrade a discharge?
No, it must be appealed to the C.O. of the military branch (i.e.: The Pentagon) you were discharged from. The above answer is incorrect. Former members can apply to have their characterization of service upgraded by filling out a DD-293 and submitting it to their respective service's Discharge Review Board (DRB) if they have been separated within the past 15 years. If it has been longer, they must apply to the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) or the Board for Correction of Military Records depending on their branch of service. A Senator does not have the authority to upgrade a discharge. One of his staff will provide a letter to the appropriate DRB, and it will be marked as "congressional interest". All it really does for the applicant is put a stamp "congressional interest" on their folder. The case will still be evaluated in the same manner regarding propriety and equity of the characterization of service, and narrative reason for separation.

What is the criteria for changing a dishonorable discharge to honorable discharge?
The criteria for changing a dishonorable discharge to honorable discharge may vary depending on the specific circumstances and the military branch involved. Generally, the individual seeking the change must provide evidence that supports their claim of an unjust or incorrect discharge. This evidence may include new information, testimonials, and supporting documentation that can demonstrate a clear error or injustice in the original discharge decision. The process typically involves submitting a request for a discharge upgrade to the appropriate military review board or discharge review board.
What is the process for expunging a military conviction?
File DD Form 149 with the appropriate Board for the Correction of Military Records. Please note that if the conviction was proper, it will not likely be expunged. If you want to succeed, you should probably retain a lawyer who specializes in military law. http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/infomgt/forms/eforms/dd0149.pdf ADDED: Pardon of a military offense See also: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/478249.html If you are requesting pardon of a court-martial conviction only, you should submit your completed petition directly to the Secretary of the military department that had original jurisdiction in your case, giving all pertinent information concerning your court-martial trial and conviction. Pardon of a military offense will not change the character of a military discharge. An upgrade or other change to a military discharge may only be accomplished by action of the appropriate military authorities. To apply for a review of a military discharge, you should write to the relevant military branch.
