# 2019-207 Releases, Release, Release - Conduct/Performance

Case summary

F&R Date: 2020-03-31

The grievor challenged the decision to release him under item 5(d) of the table to article 15.01 of the Queen's Regulations and Orders for the Canadian Forces. The Committee found that the grievor had been given every opportunity on three different serials of the Basic Military Qualification course, but had been unable to meet the standard, demonstrating difficulty in complying with direction and in understanding and applying the military ethos. Consequently, the Committee found that the grievor's release under item 5(d) was appropriate and recommended the grievance be denied.

FA decision summary
