PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. Note: Evidence of record shows that on 29 July 1998, Orders 210-0005, DA, HQ, Fort Carson, CO, discharged applicant from the Regular Army, effective date: 7 August 1998. Applicant signed DD Form 214, indicating following facts: Character of service is a general, under honorable conditions discharge under the provisions of Chapter l4, AR 635-200, by reason of misconduct.

         b. On 7 August 1998, the applicant was discharged with a general, under honorable conditions discharge. At the time of discharge, the applicant had
2 years, 2 months, and 22 days service on his current enlistment and 4 years,
11 months total time in service.

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.
