Hawaii Administrative Separations Lawyer
Administrative separations in the military are big business and in Oahu in particular with the number of military bases on this small island. An officer elimination or enlisted administrative separation is a stressful event in a service member’s career. Unlike any other job where your employer fires you, a service member being separated faces a negative characterization of service which will follow that individual into the civilian sector. An Other Than Honorable (OTH) characterization of services strips you of all your hard-earned benefits and makes employment in the civilian sector challenging. A General, Under Honorable Conditions characterizations of services strips you of some of your benefits and creates significant problems for you in the civilian sector. Even an Honorable discharge as the result of an involuntary separation may carry with it a negative reenlistment (RE) code which has its own stigma especially when prospective employers require your DD214.
Because of these dire consequences, there are significant rights and protections built into the system. However, these rights differ depending on your rank, years in service, and type of discharge you are facing. It is critical to find an attorney experienced with these issues to help you capitalize on the rights available to you.
