In order to put your military service document updated, contact the certified body of correction of military records that is in your country. A form will be filled to apply for any alterations or injustices that need altering. When applications are received by the relevant authorities there are several actions to be taken. The request to remove an error in a record can either be applied by a former soldier or a veteran. It may not be possible to process an application further if there are no records available.
A veteran who may be suffering due to disabilities inflicted during service can also qualify to ask for compensation or apply for the report for correction. Former workers who strongly feel that a decision to terminate their services was not honorable could also apply to the board. They can either apply for compensation or be reinstated back into the army.
Once the authorities are satisfied with your application and evidence before they make a decision to alter your record. Sufficient evidence with supporting proof should accompany the application. The statements from your witness are to be documented in a clear style. Applications are attached to DD Form 149 which can be downloaded from the internet or acquired from the relevant government offices.
The authorities require that the application forms to be printed or typed. All the items in the form must be filled even note in areas that are not applicable. Its not a must you send the original document. The counsel accepts only copies of the originals. Before applying, the applicants must make sure they have exhausted all the remedy channels available without getting any satisfactory answers.

That is why they emphasize on providing concrete information with all the relevant supporting documents. After going through your application, the counsel might strongly feel that your presence or that of your witnesses is required. The state will not incur any expenses once they permit you to appear before the board. A small omission like signing the application can make the entire process extremely difficult.
If the person whose record correction is being processed is deceased, the application may be signed by a spouse or the next of kin. Any other person who has been given power of attorney like a legal representative can also sign the application on behalf of the deceased. Documents with proof of death, redundancy or legal authority to represent the person should be attached to the application.
