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, 2, 3, 4) The issues are rejected. The Board noted that the applicant received an honorable discharge with a narrative reason of Unsatisfactory Performance. The applicant provided no independent corroborating evidence demonstrating that either the command's action was erroneous or the applicant’s service mitigated the misconduct or poor duty performance. The Army Discharge Review Board cannot change your reenlistment code. To obtain a change in an RE code, the applicant should send a letter with supporting documentation directly to: Commander, US Army PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC-EPR-P, 2461 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22331-0450. To obtain a waiver for reenlistment, the applicant should contact a local Army recruiter for assistance. The Board found no evidence of arbitrary or capricious actions by the command. 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. The Board, being convinced that the reason for discharge was both proper and equitable, voted to deny relief.
