Hello,
For the past few years I have been wondering if it would be possible to upgrade my General Under Honorable with a RE1 to a fully honorable. Basically what resulted in this General was low pro & con marks as a result of an NJP that I had shortly before I EAS from the Marine Corps.
I have completed the required 4 yrs of IRR service and received a certificate that states that I have completed my Marine Corps term Honorably. So does this mean that I am now eligible for GI Bill benefits even though my DD214 states General Under Honorable with a RE-1? I'm a bit confused with that and would appreciate some clarification.
My argument to the DRB would be that I was mistreated in my last unit for being unable to perform my duties to Marine Corps standard. Since my EAS, I've been rated at as 70% disabled by the VA and my conditions affected my performance while in the service. I also would like to argue that I believe that I was singled out because of my limitations while in the Corp. For those of you that are Marines, know that an injured Marine or disabled Marine isn't really a good thing.
To top it off, I had no idea that I was receiving a General until the very last minute. All my EAS paperwork stated Honorable. I also find it odd that I received a RE-1 if in fact my General was a result of "Misconduct". I would appreciate any insight on this case or any past experiences. Thank you.
