Under Title 10 United States Code Section 1552, Active Duty and Reserve Component Service members, Coast Guard, former Service members,
their lawful or legal representatives, spouses of former Service members on issues of Survivor Benefit Program (SBP) benefits, and civilian
employees with respect to military records other than those related to civilian employment, who feel that they have suffered an injustice as a result
of error or injustice in military records may apply to their respective Boards for Correction of Military Records (BCMR) for a correction of their
military records. These Boards are the highest level appellate review authority in the military. The information collected is needed to provide the Boards the
basic data needed to process and act on the request.
1. All information should be typed or printed. Complete all applicable items. If the item is not applicable, enter "None."
2. If space is insufficient on the front of the form, use the "Remarks" box below for additional information or attach an additional sheet.
3. List all attachments and enclosures in item 9. Do not send original documents. Send clear, legible copies. Send copies of military documents and orders

4. The applicant must exhaust all administrative remedies, such as corrective procedures and appeals provided in regulations, before applying to the Board of
Corrections.
5. ITEM 5. State the specific correction of record desired. If possible, identify exactly what document or information in your record you believe to be erroneous
or unjust and indicate what correction you want made to the document or information.
6. ITEM 6. In order to justify correction of a military record, it is necessary for you to show to the satisfaction of the Board by the evidence that you supply, or it
must otherwise satisfactorily appear in the record, that the alleged entry or omission in the record was in error or unjust. Evidence, in
addition to documents, may include affidavits or signed testimony of witnesses, executed under oath, and a brief of arguments supporting the application. All
evidence not already included in your record must be submitted by you. The responsibility of securing evidence rests with you.
7. ITEM 8. U.S. Code, Title 10, Section 1552b, provides that no correction may be made unless a request is made within three years after the discovery of the
