To upgrade your DD 214 to an honorable discharge, you must submit a request to the appropriate board for correction of military records, typically the Discharge Review Board (DRB) or the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR) for your branch of service. You'll need to provide supporting documentation and a clear rationale for the upgrade, such as evidence of mitigating circumstances that contributed to your original discharge status. It's advisable to consult with a veterans' service organization for assistance in navigating the process and improving your chances of success.
