There are special circumstances when a service member is released (or separated) involuntarily from the military. Military rules and regulations allow for lesser offenses, issues or problems such as minor misconduct, homosexual conduct or medical issues. A service member will experience either a Notification Process (written correspondence) or Board Process (formal hearing). While not as severe as a court martial, an administrative separation board may seek to release someone with an Other-Than-Honorable Discharge. As this classification has potential consequences against one's character, education options and financial well-being, a hearing may be required. If you or someone you know is facing involuntary discharge from the military, seeking legal representation from a Clarksville military criminal defense lawyer may be essential.
Military protocol may seem straightforward and standard. Even though an Administrative Separation Board does not follow formal courtroom procedures, all information regarding your service may be presented, reviewed and considered in making their final decision. You have rights and legal counsel will help you defend yourself. Potential outcomes may include being retained as an active service member or being released with an Honorable or General Discharge instead of an Other-Than-Honorable Discharge. This label they assign may greatly affect the rest of your life.
If you are facing an administrative discharge, your military career is in jeopardy. Having knowledgeable and experienced military legal representation is indispensable.
