EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged for Miscellaneous/General Reasons in late 2014 after receiving a DUL

Thereafter, the applicant was discharged for Unsuitability and received a General discharge after 8 months and 
8 days of military service.

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 and objected to the discharge.

The Board reviewed and discussed all written documentation and mitigating items provided in the applicant's 
petition, but found no new evidence to cite any error or inequity for the discharge issued.

Separately, the Board noticed that the applicant was issued a General Discharge in Block 24 of the DD-214 for 
character of service. This error was due to the Direct Access upgrades that populate and generate the data into 
DD-214 form. Thus, the Board recommends that this is administratively corrected to Under Honorable 
Conditions. The General discharge is correct, but is not a valid character of service entry for Block 24.

Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant for Human Resources: Concur with the Board. Approved 
administrative correction via DD Form 215 to Under Honorable Conditions (for the character of service in 
Block 24 of the DD-214 issued for this applicant).
