EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

None
The applicant was discharged for Triable By Court Martial due to disobeying direct orders, false official
statements, and illegal use of a government fuel card in late 2012. The applicant was officially separated in
early 2013 after signing a voluntary request for separation. The applicant’s complete Personnel Data Record
and Separation Package were available for the Board to review.
The applicant voluntarily requested a separation for ‘The Good of the Service’ vice in lieu of the Court Martial
proceedings and punishment. Under this separation mechanism, the applicant can receive no higher than an
Under Other Than Honorable discharge.
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: An administrative change will be
made to the Separation Authority to reflect the correct Article in the Military Separations Manual at the time of
separation in 2013. The DD-214 was issued incorrectly with Article 1.A.1.
Separation Authority: Amend to COMDTINST M1000.4, ART 1.B.20
All other items stand as issued. No relief.
