There is good news for about 800 prior servicemembers who where discharged because of their sexuality.
At leadership’s direction, the Services have completed 800 of 863 discharges without the person having to apply for one.
“[O]f the nearly 13,500 individuals who were administratively separated under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, and served long enough to receive a merit-based characterization of service, 96% now have an honorable discharge.”
The reviewers took a year to assess such discharges that were assigned between February 1994 and September 2011.
This is good news.
However, there may be some out there who were missed during the review or believe they should have been granted an upgrade.
If you think you may fall into this category of missed opportunity, reach out for help and guidance.
