How to Defend Yourself at an Administrative Separation Board

Facing an administrative separation board isn’t the same as going to trial.

It’s worse.

No judge. No subpoena power. No real rules of evidence.

Just three board members who may have already made up their minds.

In this episode of Off the Record, I break down how the military uses administrative separation boards to force service members out — especially in cases where charges were dropped and there’s no court-martial.

We get into:

• How the government stacks the deck against you from day one
• Why hearsay and assumptions are often treated like facts
• The dangers of going in unprepared or thinking you’ve already lost
• What it actually takes to win at one of these boards
• Why I fight just as hard for a corporal as I do for a colonel

If you’re facing separation, or even think it might be coming, this is the episode you need to hear.

Because your future doesn’t get decided by the accusation.

It gets decided by how hard you’re willing to fight back.
