PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. The evidence of record shows that on 22 November 1994, the unit commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under the provisions of Chapter l3, AR 635-200, by reason of unsatisfactory performance, with a general, under honorable conditions discharge (GD). He was advised of his rights. The applicant acknowledged notification, waived legal counsel, was advised of the impact of the discharge action, and did not submit a statement on his behalf. The unit commander subsequently recommended waiver of further rehabilitative efforts. On 15 December 1994, the separation authority waived further rehabilitative efforts and directed that the applicant be discharged with a GD.

         b. On 22 December 1994, the applicant was discharged with a general, under honorable conditions discharge, under the provisions of Chapter l3, AR 635-200, by reason of unsatisfactory performance. At the time of discharge, the applicant had 1 year, 10 months, and 4 days on his current enlistment.

         c. The applicant's record of service during the period of enlistment under review indicates that he accepted nonjudicial punishment under the provisions of Article 15, UCMJ, for a short AWOL and accumulated numerous counseling statements for misconduct and unsatisfactory performance.

2. Legal/Regulatory Basis for Separation Action : Army Regulation 635-200 sets forth the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. Chapter 13 contains the policy and outlines the procedures for separating individuals for unsatisfactory performance, and provides, in pertinent part, that commanders will separate a member under this chapter when, in the commander's judgment, the member will not develop sufficiently to participate satisfactorily in further training and/or become a satisfactory soldier. Army policy states that a general discharge, under honorable conditions is normally considered appropriate, but an honorable discharge may be granted in meritorious cases.
