EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct Due To Fraudulent Enlistment in late 1999.
The applicant expressed the breakup of a failed marriage and caring for a newborn child as the primary 
reasons which created a hardship at that time. These life circumstances brought upon migraine headaches and 
uncontrollable stress. In the absence of any firm documentation to support a fraudulent enlistment, or the 
applicant's formal request for separation from the service, the Majority Board vote has recommended an 
alternate means to categorize the Narrative Reason for Separation.
Based upon available information, the majority board vote (3-2) recommends that the applicant should have 
been issued a separation for the convenience of the government as a result of parental responsibilities.
The Minority Board vote (2-3) recommends that no changes are made.
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 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 equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief is granted on the 
following items:
24. Discharge: No change
25. Authority : COMDTINST MIOOO.6A, Art 12.B.12
26. separation Code: JND
27. Re-entry Code: RE-3
28. Narrative Reason: Separation for Miscellaneous/General Reasons
