This provision of law allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse failure to file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines that it would be in the interest of justice to do so. On 14 May 1980 the Army Discharge Review Board denied the applicant's petition to upgrade his discharge.

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant's record of service shows he received three Article 15s, one special court-martial, and was AWOL for 52 days during the period under review. Since there is no evidence of record which indicates the actions taken in his case were in error or unjust, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request for an upgrade of his discharge to general under honorable conditions.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060002709C070205
The applicant's military service records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 2 October 1972. The applicant's DD Form 214, with an effective date of 11 December 1973, shows that he was discharged under the provisions of chapter 10 of Army Regulation 635-200 for the good of the service and that his character of service was under conditions other than honorable. Therefore, the evidence of record fails to substantiate the applicant's claim that his undesirable discharge...

The applicant requests that his general discharge be upgraded to an honorable discharge. On 18 December 1982, he enlisted in the United States Army Reserve, under the Delayed Entry Program, for 6 years, in the pay grade of E-1. A review of the available records fails to show that the applicant ever applied to the Army Discharge Review Board for an upgrade of his discharge within that board's 15-year statute of limitations.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060002804C070205
The applicant states that the incorrect date of his discharge is reflected on his DD Form 214. Army Regulation 635-5 prescribes the separation documents which are prepared for individuals upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. His DD Form 214 properly shows his date of release from active duty as 5 September 1969; therefore, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
