Navy & Marine Corps Discharge Review Board

The NDRB, or Naval Discharge Review Board (NDRB), is the designated authority to review and determine whether a service member’s discharge was granted in a proper manner and was fair and equitable considering the regulations in effect at the time of the discharge.

United States Coast Guard Discharge Review Board

The Coast Guard Discharge Review Board under Title 10, United States Code, 1553 provides the Secretary with the authority to establish a board to review discharges or dismissals from the Service. Part 51 of Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), established the Coast Guard Discharge Review Board (DRB) and sets forth the procedure for seeking review after a member has been separated from the Coast Guard. 33 CFR 51.3 provides “[a] former member may apply to the DRB for a change in the character of, and/or the reason for, the discharge.
