Question

A member has submitted a NAVPERS 1306/7 indicating he intends to separate. He changes his mind with 13 months left on his contract, the detailer should take what action?

A) Approve the separation
B) Disapprove the separation
C) Initiate administrative separation
D) Refer the member to legal counsel

Answer 1

The detailer should disapprove the separation if a member who submitted a NAVPERS 1306/7 indicating intent to separate changes their mind with adequate time left on their contract. Hence, option (B) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a member of the Navy submits a NAVPERS 1306/7 indicating an intention to separate and then changes their mind with 13 months left on their contract, the detailer has a specific protocol to follow. If the member decides to rescind their decision to separate, and they still have time on their contract, the detailer would not approve the separation. Instead, the detailer would need to work with the member to ensure their records and intentions are accurately reflected and that any previous requests for separation are properly canceled.

Therefore, the appropriate action for the detailer in this scenario would be to disapprove the separation. The detailer would not need to initiate administrative separation or refer the member to legal counsel unless there were additional complications or reasons to do so.
