PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. The evidence of record shows that on 27 October 1986, 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 discharge. He was advised of his rights. The applicant consulted with legal counsel, was advised of the impact of the discharge action, and did not submit a statement in his behalf. The unit commander subsequently recommended separation from the service, and waiver of further rehabilitative efforts. On 5 January 1987, the separation authority waived further rehabilitative efforts and directed that the applicant be discharged with a general discharge.

         b. On 4 February 1987, the applicant was discharged with a general discharge, under the provisions of Chapter l3, AR 635-200, by reason of unsatisfactory performance. At the time of discharge, the applicant had 2 years, 11 months, and 28 days on his current enlistment and 25 days total time lost.

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.
