Legal Division - (619) 556-3050

TPU's Legal Department annually processes thousands of military justice matters such as Nonjudicial Punishments, Summary and Special Courts-martial, Article 32 Investigations, and Administrative Separations and Boards for fleet and overseas units. The Legal Department tracks all post-trial matters for the Southwest Region for service members who were sentenced to punitive discharges by sending out monthly tracer messages to parent commands reminding them to complete their Convening Authority Actions. After this action is completed, the members can be placed in the appropriate appellate leave status. Additionally, upon a member returning to military control via apprehension or surrender, the Legal Department prepares a message informing NACIC and the parent command so that the member can either be processed for administrative separation or returned to the parent command for disciplinary action.

Upon check in for Administrative Separation, service members should have the following records and documents in their possession:

•BUPERS orders for separation

•Service, Medical and Dental Records

•Copy of Administrative separation package and/or discharge authority

•Parent command should ensure that separation physicals and TAP class are taken care of

•Close out evaluation to anticipated EAOS

•Any other documents pertinent to case (i.e., service record copies of page 6’s, 7’s and page 13’s along with any civilian court conviction documents)

•Parent command POC information (email and voicemail)

Upon check in for Appellate Leave, (post-trial brig releases sentenced to BCD, DD and/or served more than 31 days in confinement after sentencing) service members should have the following records and documents in their possession:

•Service, Medical and Dental Records

•Complete separation physicals and TAP class

•Results of Trial

•Pretrial agreement (parts I and II)

•Any other documents pertinent to case (i.e., service record copies of page 6’s, 7’s and page 13’s along with any civilian court conviction documents)
