EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged due to an established pattern showing a failure to pay debts in 2008.
The applicant had financial issues dating back to 2005 in which a car was repossessed after failed payments.
Thereafter, in 2007, the applicant had become delinquent on the government charge card which resulted in
financial probation. The terms of the probation were made clear to the applicant (to pay off the debt) in an
administrative remarks entry the same year. The following two months, the applicant wrote delinquent checks
to Citibank, but they all were returned as insufficient funds. These actions violated the financial probation. The
command started discharge processing in late 2007. The Discharge was effective in early 2008.
Upon notification of the command’s intent to discharge the applicant, the applicant made a statement and
objected to discharge.
Despite the pattern of indebtedness, the Board finds that the applicant’s Narrative Reason for Separation of
Misconduct is not properly aligned with separations stemming from financial irresponsibility. The Board
recommends usage of legacy Personnel Manual COMDTINST M1000.6A, Art 12.B.16.b(6) which separated
enlisted personnel for Unsuitability for a patterned failure to pay debts.
Propriety: Discharge was proper.
Equity: Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief is granted to the
applicant’s Separation Code and Narrative Reason for separation (All other items stand as issued):
24. Discharge: No change
25. Authority:
26. Separation Code: JND
27. Re-entry Code: No change
28. Narrative Reason: Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons

With regard to the Majority Vote to recommend a partial upgrade on the reentry code: An RE3 reentry code is not an affirmative recommendation for reenlistment, rather it represents that the applicant is not recommended for reenlistment due...

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.
