You cannot get it changed. You had nine months from separation to get it changed. If you commited acts of misconduct then they are not going to change that for you.\nFor the most part you are screwed unless you dad or uncle is a Congressmen

Ask your surgeon...or a RN at the facility where the surgery was done. \n\nThey should have given you a list of 'to-do's' and 'not-to-do's' on your discharge papers.  Have you looked at them.  This is standard policy to provide you with this...any way if you lost those papers, phone them Monday and ask them...they'll be happy to tell you.  Each person is different and they know your history...and know exactly what you had done...so their advice would be the best. This is one time you DON'T want advice from friends, or on a board like this.

You can't get it changed.  Your birth certificate is your birth certificate, period.  Since you were born in Germany, your German birth certificate is it.  You will NOT be issued another on.\n\nHOWEVER, having said that, you do have options.\n\n1)  If you were born of a military member who was stationed in Germany, you will have to get a "Record of overseas birth".  This is NOT a birth certificate, it is merely a form recording that you were born overseas of a military member, or a US Citizen.  This document was issued by the local military hospital or the US Consulate.\n\n2)  Get your German birth certificate translated by an authorized translator.

First of all how in the world did you forget the dates?  I can remember the day I swore into Delayed Enlistment, the day I went to MEPS, the day I finally left out, etc... I don't buy this story, what happened to your DD-214?  Did you know what that was?

RE-4 is not recommended for re-enlistment. I don't know if you could get back in - your best bet is to talk with a recruiter and explain the situation leading up to the RE-4, and see if you can get a waiver or petition US government to get it changed.

You did not mention what branch of the service he had served so act appropriately as you read. You need his DD214 I would think that back then it might have registered it with the country clerk. You can check or go ahead and order one from http://www.archives.gov/veterans/militar... then you can request it on line at their web page; fax it or write them. If after you receive his DD214 you need awards and medals download a Form SF 180 Requests Pertaining to Military Records, http://www.archives.gov/veterans/militar... complete it and send to one of the following:\n\nBureau of Naval Personnel (Navy, Coast guard and Marines)\nLiaison Office Room 5409\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center (Air Force)\nAir Force Reference Branch (NRPMF)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center (Army)\nMedals Section (NRPMA-M)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nBest of luck. Thank-you and God Bless you and the Southern

Angel,\nThe only way u can get a medical discharge is at the findings of a Formal Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) recommending a discharge with or without benefits. \n\nIf you are being discharged under a UCMJ action you need to talk with the Area Defence Counsel about which takes precidence or if you have a legal argument.  \n\nThe medical side is a complicated procedure and has to start with a military physician placing you on a 3 profile which has to become permanant, thereby disqualifying you from worldwide duty or referring you to a Medical Eval board (MEB) for some other reason.  That results in a Medical Eval. Board, which makes a reccomendation for returned to duty or referral to a PEB (Informal).  From there it may go to a formal PEB or it may not.  Be advised, for your injury you are not looking a much in the way of disability bene's.  The best course of action is to go thru the VA after your discharge and I reccomend using the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) to assist you.  \n\nYour medical facility has a Physical Evaluation Board Liason Officer who can explain most of this to you.   \n\nMuch to complicated a process to explain here, however, you can leave an e-mail or im screename and I will glad to advise you further.  I am a retired Sr NCO and was a PEBLO.

I googled this:\n\n\nhttp://usmilitary.about.com/cs/generalinfo/ht/dischargeupgrad.htm\n\n\nThe article mentions hiring an experienced attorney.

Call your local VFW hall.  Nothing but veterans in that group and I am sure they would love to help.\n\nCoach

the only way you can be released from your current contract is if you are accepted into a Commissioning program.\n\nthe Blue to Green program allows Sailors and Airmen to go directly into the Army  as soon as their contract is up.

Try getting in touch with the Veterans administration or VFW in your town or the one closes to you.

actually, yes, their email could change, especially when coming back from an IA deployment.  \n\nTypically, your email address is name( any variation first, last and middle initial) @ Command.navy.mil.

It depends on the characterization of your discharge. Was it "other than honorable?" If so, you are not eligible to re-enlist.\n\nIf the discharge was honorable or general under honorable conditions, you can ask for a waiver and go with the National Guard or reserves - once in either of those, your former duty is "reset" and you are good to go.\n\nGood luck to you, and quit screwing up !
