Discharge Review Board Discussion and Decision: 

DISCUSSION: The applicant was discharged for Entry Level Performance And Conduct. 
Applicant claims civil rights/harassment on first full day of training because their supervisor yelled at 
them and asked if the applicant was a gang-member. The applicant was provided a civil rights 
representative and an attorney. Applicant contends they didn't feel safe and asked to leave training 
before there was an "accident". The applicant believes the discharge issued is reprisal for reporting 
harassment. The applicant withdrew the petition, then resubmitted, stating the Board was trying to hide 
the petition. After 4 days the applicant was unable to meet the minimum training requirements set 
forth. A CG-3307, signed by the applicant documents the discharge during the process of separation for 
Unsuitability Refusal To Train. This CG-3307 reflects that the applicant was counseled regarding 
reenlistment at the time of discharge. 
An uncharacterized character of service is not derogatory in nature. COMDTINST M1000.4 CH 3 Art. 
1.B.19, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 1169, prescribes this character for individuals who were separated 
while in an entry-level status (fewer than 180 days of active service) when there was no associated 
conduct to warrant a less desirable character of service. 
An RE3L reentry code represents entry-level separation – must have waiver to reenlist. Due to the 
circumstances of the discharge and disqualification, a request for a waiver may be submitted as part of 
the request for reenlistment through a recruiter of the gaining service. This discharge was consistent 
with the procedural and substantive requirements of policy and was within the discretion of the 
separation authority. The Board finds the separation was both proper and equitable. 

RECOMMENDATION: The Board members thoroughly reviewed the applicant’s record of service and all 
available documentation. The Board deemed that the applicant’s character of service and reason for 
separation and reenlistment code are appropriate and should not be changed. The applicant has not 
substantiated any error or inequity. 


2 In reviewing discharges, the Board presumes regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs unless there is 
substantial credible evidence (to include evidence submitted by the Applicant) to rebut the presumption.
