EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant was discharged for Homosexual Admission in the Spring of 2010.

The applicant's record shows satisfactory service and there is no record of any disciplinary or performance 
issues. The applicant was discharged based solely upon Don't Ask Don't Tell, and there were no aggravating 
factors in his record.

PROPRIETY: The Board finds no issues with propriety in this case. The applicant was properly discharged 
under policy in effect at the time of discharge.

EQUITY: In light of the repeal of Section 654 of Title 10, United States Code effective September 20, 2011 
and as specified in Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness) Memorandum  of September  20, 
2011, the Board finds that the applicant's discharge is inequitable. The applicant was discharged solely under  
the provisions of Section 654 of Title 10, United States Code, therefore the terms of discharge should be 
corrected accordingly.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Board members thoroughly reviewed the applicant's record of service 
and all available documentation and recommends that the applicant be issued a new DD-214 with "JFF" as the 
SPD Code, "Secretarial Authority" as the Narrative Reason  for Separation, "12.B.12"  as the Authority,  and 
"REI" as the Reentry Code.
