b. Request: ( X ) Recharacterization ( ) Change of Reason


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.

(1-6) The issues are rejected. The evidence of record shows the applicant was charged with the commission of offenses punishable under the Uniform Code Of Military Justice with a punitive discharge. The Board noted that after consulting with legal counsel, the applicant voluntarily, and in writing, requested separation from the Army in lieu of trial by court-martial. By doing so, the applicant admitted guilt to the offenses of indecent exposure and making a false official staement. The Board was satisfied that all requirements of law and regulation were met and the rights of the applicant were fully protected throughout the separation process. Finally, the Board considered the applicant's entire record of service for the period under review. It also noted that the characterization of service for this type of discharge is normally under other than honorable conditions and that the applicant was aware of that prior to requesting discharge. The Board, being convinced that the reason for discharge and the characterization of service were both proper and equitable, voted to deny relief.
