PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

          a. The evidence of record shows that on 4 October 1989, the applicant was barred to reenlistment. On 13 February 1990, the applicant requested that he be granted an early separation from the military service under the provisions of Chapter 16, AR 635-200 and he indicated that he understood that he would not be permitted to reenlist at a later date. The unit commander recommended approval. On 22 February 1990, the separation authority approved the applicant’s request for discharged.

         b. On 28 February 1990, the applicant was discharged. He was credited with
1 year, 9 months, and 3 days active service on the enlistment under review.

2. Legal/Regulatory Basis for Separation Action : Army Regulation 635-200 sets forth the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. Chapter 16 covers discharges caused by changes in service obligations. Paragraph 16-5 applies to personnel denied reenlistment and provides that soldiers who receive DA imposed or locally imposed bars to reenlistment, and who perceive that they will be unable to overcome the bar may apply for immediate discharge. Incident to the request the member must state that he understands that recoupment of unearned portions of any enlistment or reenlistment bonus is required and that later reenlistment is not permitted. Army policy states that the service of personnel separated under this paragraph will be characterized as honorable.

         b. Equity:       The parenthetical number(s) below correspond(s) to the issue number(s) on the DD Form 293, or in Part VI, Paragraph 1, above.

 (1) The issue is rejected. The Board carefully examined the applicant’s record of service for the period of enlistment under review. The evidence of record shows that on 6 October 1989 a local bar to reenlistment was approved. The applicant, having determined that he was unable to overcome the local bar to reenlistment, requested immediate separation under the provisions of Chapter 16, AR 635-200, by reason of a locally imposed bar to reenlistment. The applicant authenticated a request for separation with his signature in which he indicated that he understood that once separated, he would not be permitted to reenlist and would be ineligible for further service. The applicant’s request for separation was subsequently approved and the applicant was honorably discharged. The Board found the reason for discharge to be both proper and equitable and voted to deny relief.

 3. Response(s) to item(s) not addressed as decisional issue(s): NONE
