b. The government or the member can initiate separation request per this article.

(1) Command-initiated request: Per reference (d), involuntary separation processing may not be initiated until the servicemember has been notified formally with NAVPERS 1070/613 (Rev. 7-06), Administrative Remarks concerning performance deficiencies related to the physical/behavioral condition and advised of medical resources (if applicable) that may assist in the member's retention. The CO must provide the member reasonable time to overcome deficiencies (if possible) as reflected in appropriate counseling or personnel records.

(2) Servicemember-initiated request: May request separation based on a medical condition not amounting to disability which member's attending military physician believes exists and obviates the member's potential for continued Naval Service. Member may request separation only after all medical avenues of relief have been exhausted. The medical officer must document why member's condition renders member incapable of completing obligated service (OBLISERV) in an operational capacity. This request is considered a voluntary separation; therefore, there are no separation pay entitlements and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB)/Enlistment Bonus (EB), if applicable, will be recouped.

Comentario: Los miembros de la Navy pueden pedir una separación por ODPMC.

c. Whether command- or servicemember-initiated, specific documentation is required from the medical officer that condition renders member incapable of completing member's OBLISERV, e.g., forced conversion, reassignment, etc. If the request is forwarded to Navy Personnel Command (NAVPERSCOM) for disposition without the specific documentation mentioned above, the request will be disapproved.

3. Procedures. Administrative separation (ADSEP) packages must include the following:

a. NAVPERS 1070/613 which specifically addresses performance deficiencies related to physical or behavioral condition and resources available, unless servicemember has requested the separation.

b. Request for separation from servicemember, if initiated by servicemember.

c. Administrative notification per MILPERSMAN 1910-402, if initiated by command.

e. Medical documentation from a medical officer supporting separation due to the condition, or suitability screening form for operational or overseas assignment, signed by a medical officer.

4. Characterization of Service. Honorable (HON), unless an Entry Level Separation (ELS) (MILPERSMAN 1910-308) or General (Under Honorable Conditions) (GEN) (MILPERSMAN 1910-304), is warranted. Selected Reserve (SELRES) personnel are not eligible for ELS.
