Mauricio Garcia , 33, joined the Army in June 2008 but was “terminated” three months later, failing to complete his initial training, said Heather J. Hagan, an Army spokesperson.

Garcia was separated for an unspecified mental health issue, according to another Army official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of personnel records.

Administrative separations like the one Garcia received are meant to quickly force out recruits who can’t perform military duties due to various physical and behavioral conditions. They are not typically punishments and would not show up on background checks.
