Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).

The applicant requests an upgrade of his discharge under other than honorable conditions to a general discharge. The applicant contends that his discharge under other than honorable conditions should be upgraded to a general discharge because he was very young and had an alcohol and marijuana addiction resulting from MOS stress.

A DARP Form 249-3 (Chronological Record of Military Service), dated 2 June 1995, shows the applicant had only one qualifying year in the USAR between 3 July 1973 to 2 July 1974; he earned 68 points. The applicant's DD Form 214 ending on 2 July 1971 shows he served in MOS 11B (Light Weapons Infantryman).

The applicant requests upgrade of his general discharge to an honorable discharge. Accordingly, on 4 May 1994, the applicant was separated with a general discharge.

On 24 July 1987, the separation authority approved the applicant's voluntary request for discharge and directed that he be furnished an under other than honorable conditions discharge.
