Are You Facing an Administrative Separation?
An administrative separation does not have the same consequences as a courts-martial. However, you can still lose your career and be separated with less than a fully honorable discharge.
- While the government will try to paint an administrative separation as a firing, we understand that this is more than just a losing a job - you're losing a career. You are at risk of losing your retirement and veterans' benefits, as well as the stigma that could lead to an inability to gain employment in the civilian sector.
- Administrative separations typically occur for issues such as failure to meet physical standards, homosexuality and UCMJ violations.
- The standard of proof is typically a preponderance of the evidence. This is a lesser standard than beyond a reasonable doubt, which makes it easier for the government to win.
