DRB DIGEST/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

TIS | 1 yr, 4 months, 27 days
Policy Implications _| None
The applicant was discharged for Separation For Miscellaneous/General Reasons due to a Voluntary Separation
request per ALCGENL 46/10. The nature of the request stemmed from pregnancy and fearing that she would
soon be a single parent without proper family support being assigned in a remote duty location. The command
endorsed her request and recommended an Honorable discharge. However, there are no administrative remarks
or correspondence discussing the Reenlistment code at the command or PSC-epm level. The applicant received
an RE-4 code that bars her from future reentry into military service.
The applicant was not advised or afforded an opportunity to dispute the reenlistment code of RE-4 issued to
her. Furthermore, the genesis of the separation was due to her proactive nature to ask for a Voluntary
Separation. Alas, this practical action somehow created an unfavorable outcome for future military service
which was not supported or explained. This voluntary separation mechanism offered via ALCGENL 46/10 was
not established to saddle ‘undesirable’ outgoing members with a banned from future military service
categorization.
In order to support an RE-4, the applicant should have been notified by the command in writing prior to the
separation. Or, a separation under different means should have been processed by the command. A
recommendation of an RE-3H is the appropriate reenlistment code to indicate that her request to voluntary
separate was due to family hardship. Additionally, the correct Separation Authority should be 12.B.12
(authorized by epm) from the Legacy Personnel Manual vice 12.B.16 which is for Unsuitability. All other
items, the Character of Service, Narrative Reason for Separation and Separation code should stand as issued.
An RE3 reentry code is not an affirmative recommendation for reenlistment, rather it represents that the
applicant is not recommended for reenlistment due to a disqualifying factor. The RE3 code may be waived
based upon the policies and needs of the gaining Service.
Propriety: Discharge was NOT proper.
Equity: Discharge was NOT equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief is granted on the
applicant’s reentry code and will be properly aligned her Separation Authority as follows:
Re-entry code: RE-3H
Separation Authority: COMDTINST M1000.6A 12-B-12
All other items stand as issued.

This was the result of a voluntary SILO request made in 2009, by the applicant, due to an overwhelming financial situation in which relocation would have adversely affected their family. In the Fall of 2009, just 8 weeks prior to his request to SILO, the applicant was taken to Summary Court-Martial (SCM) for an inappropriate relationship onboard a USGC cutter. The board recommends that applicant’s SPD code be changed to KND with the narrative reason as: ‘Separation for...

Normally, when a member is separated with less than 180 days of service, they are issued an ‘Uncharacterized’ discharge. Based on the limited amount of supporting documentation, and the standard of reenlistment codes issued for Adjustment Disorder separations, the Board recommends an RE3 reentry code. Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief on the SPD code, reenlistment code, and Narrative Reason for Separation as follows: SPD code: JFY RE code:...
