Upgrade Military Discharge

I am a former Marine. I did almost 3 of my four years. I was a machine gunner that did a combat tour over seas. I was a great Marine. High PFT, sharpshooter, Marine Corps Institute Classes, etc. Never had any councils or NJPs. I was discharged with ''personality disorder'' due to family issues that I could not take care of being hundred miles away. After being discharged, I took care of all my problems. I know my military career is over but I would like to try to become a NC State High Way Patrol Officer. I have been to seminars and took classes. Unfortunately I cannot even try out unless I have a FULLY honorable, NOT GENERAL UNDER HONORABLE CONDITIONS. I tried with every other police department around a 30 mile radius of my house. No one will take me. Understandable. I have been discharged for almost 1 year. Since then I have no gotten in any trouble and I have been writing back and forth waiting for a letter from my congressman. He sent me the info I needed and is in the process of writing me a commendation letter. I will also include letters from friends, my corpman from the marines, and my family. I do not think I deserve the same discharge as drug pops and UA's.

Any ideas to make this go smoothly?

I was given a geneal discharge after giving a coerced confession to a couple of OSI agents. There was no evidence, no urinalysis, and no court martial.

It says it happened a full year before I even joined up. What do I do?? Does the Veterans Affairs office have the OSI investigation and confession on file? Do I have a chance at an upgrade?
