DRB DIGEST/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DRB DOCKET 2014-062 NAME CURRENT DD-214 Honorable, COMDTNST M 1000.6 ART I-B-12, JCR, Weight Control Failure, RE3F RELIEF REQUESTED Change Narrative Reason for Separation RELIEF GRANTED BY DRB None ADMN CORRECTIONS None TIS 9 yrs, 6 months, 24 days Policy Implications None EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The applicant was discharged for Weight Control Failure in the Spring of 2012. Prior to the separation, the member was placed on weight probation in late 2011. The applicant was ordered to lose 16 pounds or 4 percent body to reach compliance with the service standard for their age group. Thereafter in early 2012, the applicant was 18 pounds overweight and now 5 percent over the body fat standard. In accordance with 4.A.2 of CIM 1020.8H, the applicant failed to demonstrate reasonable and consistent progress during probation, i.e., not halfway towards compliance at the midpoint of their probationary period. The command notified the applicant of the intent to discharge for the aforementioned reasons, at that time no objection was made, and the applicant did make a statement on their behalf. On the current application, the applicant claims to have asked for additional tape measurements and also presented the command with a third party measurement from a civilian nutritionist which showed different measurements that met the standard. The applicant further claims being denied the usage of the alternate measurements nor was afforded additional assessments by the Operations Petty Officer performing the duty. The Board does note that no firm documentation or evidence was provided on the third party nutritionist before or after the Discharge. And, no specifics on who the nutritionist was that performed those measurements. The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. The applicant received a reentry code of RE3, therefore, the applicant is not barred from future military service. 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 proper. Equity: Discharge was equitable. Final Adjudication By Assistant Commandant for Human Resources: Concur with Board. No relief.
