[haebyungdae]

There is no longer a par 6021 in the current or more modern versions of the MARCORSEPMAN.

The MARCORSEPMAN, from at least the 1960's, lists par 6021 as "Request for Discharge for the Good of the Service." Partial specifics:

6021 REQUEST FOR DISCHARGE FOR THE GOOD OF THE SERVICE

1. . . . Any Marine commander exercising general court-martial jurisdiction, without administrative discharge board action, may authorize or direct the discharge, with an undesirable discharge, of any member who submits a request for discharge for the good of the service . . . Such requests may be submitted and processed where the member's conduct renders him triable by court-martial for an offense punishable by a punitive discharge . . . provided that the member has been afforded the opportunity to consult with counsel, and the member certifies in writing his understanding that:

a. He will receive a discharge under other than honorable conditions.

b. He understands the adverse nature of such a discharge.

c. He understands the possible consequences thereof.

Notwithstanding a member's submission of a request for discharge for the good of the service, the appropriate discharge authority may disapprove such request and either direct the member's retention, or refer the member's case to an administrative discharge board.

2. For the advise to be given a member who requests discharge for the good of the service, and for the recording of such advise, see subparagraphs 6023.1a and 6023.1c.

6. A member who submits a request for discharge for the good of the service will complete such request by signed statement in tenor as follows, witnessed by at least one witness.
