2. Finding(s), conclusion(s), and reason(s) for the Board's decision(s) on issues of propriety and/or equity:

        
         a. Propriety:    The applicant has not submitted an issue of propriety and the ADRB has not otherwise relied upon an issue of propriety to change the discharge.
         b. Equity:       The parenthetical numbers below corresponds to the issue numbers on the DD Form 293, or in Part VI, Paragraph 1, above.
(1) The issue is rejected. The Board examined the applicant's record of service during the period of enlistment under review. There was a full consideration of all faithful and honorable service as well as infractions of discipline, the extent thereof, and the seriousness of the offenses. The Board concluded that the discrediting entries in the applicant's record were not outweighed by prior or subsequent service of sufficient merit to warrant an upgrade of the discharge being reviewed. Eligibilty for veteran’s benefits does not fall within the purview of the Army Discharge Review Board. The applicant should contact a local office of the Department of Veterans Affairs for assistance on this matter. The Board was satisfied that all requirements of law and regulations were met and the rights of the applicant were fully protected throughout the separation process. The Board, being convinced that the reason for discharge and the characterization of service were both proper and equitable, voted to deny relief.


3. Response to item(s) not addressed as decisional issue(s): ( X ) NA
