Q: I have an article 15 in my OMPF that is preventing me from positions and assignments. How do I get it removed?
I was given a Field Grade Article 15 for Adultery which Trial Defense Services told me not to accept. I knew I had done the act and felt it was wrong (morally) not to accept the ART 15. Now I am unable to be an instructor, recruiter, drill SGT as I have an adultery article 15. I really would like this to go away. How do I legally do that as three years have passed and I am still feeling the effects of this.
A: Each branch of service has some form of board of corrections for military records. For example if you're in the Army (as it appears you are), you might want to consider getting relief through the Army Board of Corrections for Military Records. A simple internet search will take you to the site and it is self explanatory. While it is meant for someone to do it on their own, you may want to seek the assistance of an attorney - either on post at Client Services/Legal Assistance or retain an attorney with some military experience.
