On 14 August 1988, after consulting with counsel, the applicant submitted a request for discharge under the provisions of Army Regulations 635-200, chapter 10, for the good of the service in lieu of trial by court- martial.

The applicant requests, in effect, that his military records be corrected to show that he was permanently retired from the Army by reason of disability.
