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.

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 a general under honorable discharge?
it is not bad it simply mean you were unable to perform for some personal reason you do not have to disclose most times after six months it turns into an honorable if you dont get in trouble with the law you can go through the army review board and ask for and upgrade in discharge status and they will review you request and more than likely give it to ya The above information is incorrect. A General (Under Honorable Conditions) characterization is warranted when a member's service has been honest and faithful, but significant negative aspects of service outweigh the positive aspects of that service. Characterization of service NEVER has and NEVER will automatically upgrade to Honorable after six months. This is urban legend. If you apply to the Army Discharge Review Board (DRB) they will not just give it to you. You must prove inequity or impropriety in you separation proceedings or in your assigned characterization and/or separation code. Very few applications recieve the relief they are seeking.
How hard is it to upgrade a general discharge under honorable conditions to an honorable discharge from the military?
Most discharges can be upgraded depending on the veterans conducts.99% of the time when a veteran gets a General Under Honorable its considered good enough for the the revue board.That veteran is Entitle to all benifits!The Marines being discharged with less then Honorable will run into a stone wall due to the fact that that branch does frownes on upgrading any discharges!They feel they deserved what the got! The Navy Discharge Review Board (NDRB) reviews applications from Sailors and Marines seeking upgrades to their characterization of service and/or change to their narrative reason for separation. Regardless of characterization recieved, the applicant must prove inequity or impropriety in their separation process. Upgrades are fairly rare because very few applicant's present clear issues to show impropriety or inequity.
Can a person with another than honorable discharge receive VA Benefits?
You'd really have to check with the Veterans Administration to be sure, however, unless the regulation has changed - no. I believe one year after separation you can apply to upgrade that "Other Than Honorable" to an "Honorable" discharge and then be eligible for benefits. A lot hinges on your civilian record since discharge. Again, I'm going from memory and everyone knows that's not reliable, so to be sure call your local VA representative and ask them. They can cite you chapter and verse and will even assist you in the application process when the time requirement is up. If anyone else out there can help this guy or provide more accurate information PLEASE do.
i have a laptop and i want to take it with me when i travel what do i need?
Are you trying to reenlist in the US Army? If so, please note that the Army will review and consider the motivation and circumstances behind every waiver request. The first aspect of your reenlistment will be to check the reenlistment ("RE") code on your military discharge form DD-214 (if discharged from Active Duty). Please note that if your discharge was under Other Than Honorable (OTH) conditions, you will need to upgrade your discharge by means of appealing to a Review Board prior to applying for reenlistment. Good luck.
How do you turn a bcd discharge to an honorable?
BCNR- Board of Corrections and Naval Review handles the changes to the discharges in the navy. The other branches have their own review boards. That being said its darn near futile to do it. There has to be misconduct on the government or people involved to get a BCD upgraded. It is not automatically upgraded to honorable. The case has to go up for review each time you want an upgrade.

Can I change my General Discharge to a Honorable Discharge?
It depends on what your RE code is on your DD-214. If it's an RE-4, your chances are highly unlikely, unless you appeal your discharge. With it being general under honourable conditions, an RE-4 would seem a bit unlikely, however. Any RE-3 code renders you ineligible for reenlistment, but you can still be waivered in. Whether or not the ANG will grant you a waiver is dependent on a number of things that really only the recruiter will be able to determine, and, in turn, provide you with a definite answer.
