PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. Evidence of record shows that on undated, the unit commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under the provisions of Chapter l4, AR 635-200, by reason of misconduct—pattern of misconduct, with an under other than honorable conditions (UOHC) discharge. He was advised of his rights. The applicant acknowledged notification, consulted with legal counsel, was advised of the impact of the discharge action, waived a hearing by a board of officers and did not submit a statement on his behalf. The unit commander subsequently recommended waiver of further rehabilitative efforts and recommended separation with an UOHC discharge. The intermediate commanders reviewed the proposed discharge action and recommended approval of the separation action with an UOHC discharge. On 29 March 1991, the separation authority waived further rehabilitative efforts and directed that the applicant be discharged with an UOHC discharge.

         b. On 8 April 1991, the applicant was discharged with an under other than honorable conditions discharge. At the time of discharge, the applicant had
1 year, 9 months, and 3 days service on his current enlistment and 4 years,
8 months and 29 days 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.
