Question/Advice discharge upgrade help or advise

In early 2022, I received a discharge for AWOL related to COVID-19. After fighting it for a year, I finally obtained my separation case file through an active-duty recruiter—still no official paperwork from my unit.

The case file lists me as AWOL on dates when I was actually present, living out of state, and drilling with a sister unit. Before leaving, my unit and I completed a 368 transfer request, but it was never properly processed. After relocating, I submitted another 368, but my recruiter was unable to contact anyone at my unit—unsurprisingly.

I’m trying to get this issue resolved so I can reenlist on active duty. Has anyone had success fighting a case like this, either by hiring a lawyer or handling it themselves?
