Course Description

Length: 1h 0min    Published: 10/19/2018

This program will cover: - The various discharge characterizations available from the armed forces - The impact of discharge status upon eligibility for Veterans Administration benefits - Other possible negative impacts that can result from “bad paper” discharges - Options to seek discharge upgrades - Recent policy changes that can affect efforts to upgrade discharge status
