You have a minimum of six months before you can appeal it. Do not expect your appeal to go your way - while it's commonly believed that this is typically the case, the fact of the matter is that most appeals of a characterization of service for a discharge are rejected, and the SM remains discharged with an OTH.

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 a honorable discharge COG?

A COG (Convenience of the Government) Discharge is the government's way of backing out of its commitment to an enlisted person without doing harm to that person's future. They are most often used to cancel the contract when the recruit is injured in training to the point where there is a long recovery time or a full recovery is not anticipated. It is a "good" discharge so long as the word "honorable" is attached to it. With an honorable discharge a person is able to claim military service and, in many cases, even enlist again once the physical problem has resolved itself. He is also most probably eligible for a 5-point Federal Civilian Service hiring preference as a veteran. It is an administrative discharge (as opposed to a judicial discharge like a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge).
