DRB DIGEST/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DRB DOCKET 2013- 024 NAME CURRENT DD-214 Uncharacterized, COMDINST MIOOO.6A, ART. 12.B.16, JFY, Adjustment Disorder, RE3G RELIEF REQUESTED Under Honorable Conditions RELIEF GRANTED BY DRB None CORRECTIONS Narrative Reason: Entry Level Separation SPD code: JGA; RE code: RE3L•, Separation Authority: 12.B.20 TIS 0 yrs, 0 months, 1l days Policy Implications None EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The applicant was discharged with Adjustment Disorder after just I I days at boot camp. The applicant claims being unable to cope with boot camp due to immaturity, and also felt forced by parents to go into the military. The applicant wanted out of the service after just a few days at recruit training. Members separated within the first 180 days of service normally receive an 'Uncharacterized' discharge. However, the Narrative Reason of Adjustment Disorder is not supported by any diagnosis from a physician. The Board recommends an entry level separation due to the inability to adapt during the first 180 days of service. An uncharacterized character of service is not derogatory in nature and is the prescribed character for individuals who were separated while at initial accession training and there was no associated conduct to warrant a less desirable character of service. An RE-3 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. The RE3L recommended by the board would identify the applicant as an Entry Level Separation that must have a waiver to reenlist. The RE3G is incorrect; the applicant did not have any Condition that interfered with his performance of duty. Propriety: Discharge was proper. Equity: Discharge was equitable. Board Conclusion: The Board voted 5-0 to recommend no relief on the RE code or character of service desired by the applicant. The Board voted 5-0 for the following administrative changes: Narrative Reason: Entry Level Separation SPD code: JGA RE code: RE3L Separation Authority: 12.B.20 Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Concurs and approves with partial relief and administrative changes recommended by the Board.
