<strong>“Buddy Statements” or Other References From Service</strong>:
On top of military records, you can attach statements from friends or
colleagues you knew while in the service, or other individuals with
direct knowledge of your time in the military. The content of the
letter is more important than who it comes from, as long as the
writer’s opinion is credible and they know you well. The writer should
state how they learned about the facts or opinions they’re writing
about. The letters may include statements about your achievements in
the military, positive relationships you formed in the military, why
your discharge may be unjust or incorrect, and your good deeds during
that time.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Testaments of Achievements Since Service</strong>: You may
decide to add information about what you have achieved in your life
since your discharge, particularly if your discharge involved any
issues related to drugs, alcohol, or bad behavior. This can be in the
form of a letter from an employer or community leader, evidence of
successful drug treatment, or copies of certificates and degrees. The
DoD will soon release more specific information about achievements
since service, but, for now, add any achievements you would like to
call out.
