Administrative Actions

These boards are set up very similar to courts-martial. The outcome determines if you will be able to stay in the military, or if the board decides to separate you, what your characterization of discharge will be. Additionally, as an enlisted member, you could face administrative demotion for the aforementioned reasons. Lastly, any member can face a credentialing or flying evaluation if they are a health or aviation professional.

PT failures or minor misconduct may have your commander initiate a discharge board (enlisted members who have either served six years or are an NCO) or a Board of Inquiry (Officer) to have you separated from the service.
