Are You Facing Administrative Separation?
Administrative separations are a type of punishment that involuntarily separates the service member from the military. Some of the reasons an administrative discharge can occur include:
- Minor misconduct
- Medical issues
- Homosexual conduct
Even though consequences of an administrative discharge are less severe than that of a court-martial, they can still have significant effects on the service member's employability, eligibility for benefits, educational goals, and social standing. If you are faced with administrative separation, speak with our Hinesville criminal defense attorneys for effective legal guidance with your military law issue.
Representation from Hinesville Military Law Attorneys
Two types of administrative separation processes exist: notification processing and board processing. Notification procedures are most commonly used. These occur when the notification and member's response are limited to written materials. Board processes are used when the military member is entitled to a hearing by the administrative discharge board. If you are a service member and have been recommended for separation, a hearing by an administrative discharge board is required in many circumstances. You have certain rights that must be protected.
