DRB DIGEST/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DRB DOCKET 2014- 060 NAME CURRENT DD-214 Honorable, COMDTNST MIOOO.6A 12-B-12, JFV, Convenience Of The Government, RE3G RELIEF REQUESTED Change Narrative Reason to Medical RELŒF GRANTED BY DRB None ADM CORRECTIONS Amend Narrative Reason to be aligned with JFV SPD code: Condition, Not a Disability TIS 2 yrs, 2 months, 5 days Policy Implications None EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The applicant was discharged for Convenience of the Government in 2007. The applicant was on Active Duty for 2 years and 2 months. The current petition claims that it should have been issued a Medical Discharge vice a convenience-based Discharge. Upon further review, the Board notes that the applicant received the correct Separation code (SPD) of JFV, but was issued the wrong Narrative Reason for Separation. As indicated on the Personnel Service Center's separation summary, the Character of Service authorized is 'Condition, Not a Disability'. The Servicing Personnel Office erroneously entered the wrong Narrative Reason. In addition to the error, the Board references ALCOAST 562/08 that clearly states 'Convenience of the Government' will not be used for Block 28 of the DD-214. While it is an overarching and foundational basis for Discharge in the Legacy Personnel Manual, it is not an official and specific Narrative Reason to be issued in accordance with the SPD handbook. Aside from the administrative error, the Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The Board also notes that the RE3G reentry code issued is not an affirmative recommendation for reenlistment, rather it represents that the applicant is not recommended for reenlistment due to a disqualifying factor. The RE3G code may be waived based upon the policies and needs of the gaining Service. Propriety: Discharge was proper. Equity: Discharge was equitable. Final Adjudication By Assistant Commandant for Human Resources: Concur with Board. No relief other than administrative correction on the Narrative Reason to: Condition, Not a Disability.
