PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. Evidence of record shows that on 30 July 1996, the unit commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under the provisions of Chapter 11, AR 635-200, by reason of entry level status performance and conduct, with an uncharacterized discharge. He was advised of his rights. The applicant consulted with legal counsel, was advised of the impact of the discharge action, and did not submit a statement in his behalf. The unit commander subsequently recommended separation from the service, and waiver of further rehabilitative efforts. On undated, the separation authority waived further rehabilitative efforts and directed that the applicant be discharged with an uncharacterized discharge.

         b. On 22 August 1996, the applicant was discharged with an uncharacterized discharge. At the time of discharge, the applicant had 6 months 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 11, of this regulation, in effect at the time, provided, for the separation of personnel due to unsatisfactory performance, conduct, or both, while in an entry level status. This provision of regulation applied to individuals who had demonstrated that they were not qualified for retention because they could not adapt socially or emotionally to military life, or because they lacked the aptitude, ability, motivation or self discipline for military service, or that they had demonstrated characteristics not compatible with satisfactory continued service. The separation policy applies to soldiers who cannot meet the minimum standards prescribed for successful completion of training because of lack of aptitude, ability, motivation or self-discipline. The regulation requires uncharacterized service for separation under this chapter.
