         ( )     Revised issue(s) furnished in writing by applicant as follows:

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 number(s) below correspond(s) to the                     issue number(s) on the DD Form 293, or in Part VI,                                  Paragraph 1 above.
(1) The issue is rejected. The record does not support the applicant's contention, and no evidence to support it has been submitted by the applicant, that his misconduct was caused by PTSD. The evidence of record shows that 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 as charged. 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 this 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.
