PART VI - ISSUES AND FINDINGS

          ( X )   Same as those listed on DD Form 293 and Part IV, Section A, Paragraph 2.

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) The issue is rejected. The US Army does not have, nor has it ever had, a policy to automatically upgrade discharges. Each case is decided on its own merits when an applicant submits a DD form 293 requesting a change in discharge. Changes may be warranted if the Board determines that the characterization of service or the reason for discharge or both were improper or inequitable. The Defense Discharge Review Standards specifically state: "No factors shall be established that require automatic change or denial of a change in discharge." 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
