What are the advantages of choosing a records review as a first step in the discharge review process?
While a records review hearing is limited in its scope of evaluation of you and your post service conduct, the decision can give you an idea of the types of issues the Board may consider in your case. Choosing a records review hearing as a first step, then proceeding later to a personal appearance hearing if the records review Board does not upgrade the discharge, will provide opportunity for two different reviews. Applying for a records review hearing first provides the applicant a board decision that can be helpful in preparing for a personal appearance hearing. Additionally, having both the records review hearing and the personal appearance hearing may increase the probability of a decision in the favor of the applicant.
