SECTION A-ANALYST’S ASSESSMENT
l. Facts and Circumstances:

         a. DA, HQ, US Army Support Command, HI, Fort Shafter, HI, Orders 149-7, dated 27 June 1990, reassigned the applicant to the US Army Transition Point for transition processing. The applicant signed DD Form 214, indicating following facts: Character of service is a general, under honorable conditions discharge under the provisions of Chapter 14, AR 635-200, misconduct-pattern of misconduct.

         b. On 3 June 1990, the applicant was discharged with a general, under honorable conditions discharge. At the time of discharge, the applicant had
2 years, 5 months, and 8 days service on his current enlistment.

2. Legal/Regulatory Basis for Separation Action : Army Regulation 635-200 sets forth the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. Chapter l4 establishes policy and prescribes procedures for separating members for misconduct. Specific categories include minor disciplinary infractions, a pattern of misconduct, commission of a serious offense, to include abuse of illegal drugs, convictions by civil authorities and desertion or absence without leave. Action will be taken to separate a member for misconduct when it is clearly established that rehabilitation is impractical or unlikely to succeed. Army policy states that an under other than honorable conditions discharge is normally considered appropriate, but a general discharge under honorable conditions or an honorable discharge may be granted.

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 Board carefully examined the applicant’s record of service during the period of enlistment under review. The Board noted applicant’s record is void of facts and circumstances concerning events that led to his discharge from the Army. The Board further noted that the applicant’s record contains a properly constituted DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) which was authenticated by the applicant. This document identifies the reason and characterization of the discharge and the Board presumed government regularity in the discharge process. The Board, being convinced that the reason for discharge and the characterization of service were proper and equitable, voted to deny relief.

 3. Response(s) to item(s) not addressed as decisional issue(s): NONE
