PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

          a. The evidence of record shows that on 28 August 1987, the unit commander in consultation with the Clinical Director/ADAPCP declared the applicant a rehabilitation failure. On 2 October 1987, the unit commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under the provisions of Chapter 9, AR 635-200, alcohol abuse-rehabilitation failure, with a general (GD) 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 approval of the discharge action and forwarded it through command channels to the separation authority. On
8 October 1987, the separation authority waived further rehabilitative efforts and directed that the applicant be discharged with a GD.

         b. On 3 November 1987, the applicant was discharged with a general, under honorable conditions discharge, under the provisions of Chapter 9, AR 635-200, by reason of alcohol abuse-rehabilitation failure. He was credited with 2 years,
3 months, and 11 days active service on the enlistment under review and 6 years,
5 months and 30 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 9 contains the authority and outlines the procedures for discharging individuals because of alcohol or other drug abuse. A member who has been referred to the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Program (ADAPCP) for alcohol/drug abuse may be separated because of inability or refusal to participate in, cooperate in, or successfully complete such a program if there is a lack of potential for continued Army service and rehabilitation efforts are no longer practical. Army policy states that an honorable or general discharge is authorized depending on the applicant’s overall record of service. (However, an honorable discharge is required if restricted use information is used in the discharge process).
