you have to fill out form DD293. Additionally, you must prove through documentation your separation, characterization of service or narrative reason was/were either inequitable or improper. Few upgrades are given by the Navy Discharge Review Board (NDRB) for Navy and Marines. The Army DRB is much the same. The Air Force DRB tends to view passage of time a bit more favorably than the other services where passage of time is irrellevant. Well documented Post-service conduct usually helps an applicant's case if they can show their in service misconduct was an aberration, and not indicative of their overall character. An applicant is entitled to a document review and a personal appearance hearing before the DRB within 15 years of the discharge date. If the personal appearance is elected first, the document review is waved. Applicants should always have representation, and should always elect the document review first in order to allow for adjustments etc if they are unsuccessful. Then, they may re-attack in a personal appearance hearing.
To upgrade your discharge to honorable, you will need to submit a request to the appropriate military review board. In your request, you should provide any evidence or supporting documentation that demonstrates your exemplary conduct or mitigating circumstances for your previous discharge. It is advisable to seek assistance from a military legal counsel or veterans' service organization to ensure you provide a strong case for your upgrade.

How Long Does it take for a general under honorable condition to upgrade to a honorable discharge?
It doesn't. The only way for a General (under honorable conditions) discharge to be upgraded is to go before the Board of appeals. Even then, your chances of getting an upgrade are slim (less than 1%) Even in the best of situations, if you did successfully appeal and get an upgrade, it would still be on your records because that (Honorable) was not the original characterization of discharge, and there is a code that identifies it as such. The above answer is partially correct. The characterization of service does not automatically upgrade to Honorable...ever. Members can apply to the Discharge Review Board (DRB) for their respective service to be considered for a change of characterization. Upgrades are few and far between.
