EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged on February 4, 2014, with an Honorable discharge due to Misconduct specifically 
due to Commission of a Serious Offense.

The applicant faced a felony level charge for misleading U.S. Marshals on the whereabouts of a fugitive. The 
deserter from another state was being harbored within the Applicant's home at the time of questioning. A 
preponderance of the evidence prompted the notification for discharge.

The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case.

The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the applicant was advised of the right to an attorney. 
The applicant made a statement on their behalf.

Despite the severe offense levied against the Applicant, an Honorable discharge was issued based on the totality 
of the 9 plus years of service. The Applicant has currently provided a handwritten notice from the state court to 
show or demonstrate that the criminal charge has been dismissed. The Board cites that a preponderance of the 
evidence and statements from the applicant before and after the discharge are not consistent in portraying a 
victim scenario. The Board also notes that the Applicant has since acquired the aforementioned fugitive's last 
name (post-discharge) in the signature provided on the Board application, and the name listed on the return 
address.

Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication By Assistant Commandant for Human Resources: Concur with Board. No relief.
