You need to send your inquiry / petition to the Bureau of Naval Personnel. Don't be optimistic though - having lived in D.C. for over 30 years and worked at all levels of the Navy, I can tell you that their bureaucratic mindset isn't very flexible. To change their decision (or to admit they were wrong) requires compelling evidence that they weren't "exactly right" to begin with.

You may apply to have your discharge characterization upgraded with the Discharge Review Board (DRB) for your respective service by filling out a DD-293, and submitting a package for consideration. You will have to submit documentation proving there was an impropriety or inequity in your administrative separation. Each case is very different, so it is hard to say what your chances are without knowing specifics. Very few cases are upgraded, but you might have a decent case.

Go to the link below (Military Discharge Upgrade Consulting) to discuss specifics free of charge. This is maintained by officers who have served on the Navy Discharge Review Board (NDRB) and can assist applicants with preparing their cases.

What discharge did John Boehner receive from the navy?

He was given an honorable discharge. It was an administrative seperation for medical reasons. His biography lists the reason as a "bad back". This hints to me that Mr. Boehner simply was unable to adjust to the military lifestyle and was discharged during his basic training rather than saddle some command with another cry baby.
