PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. Evidence of record shows that on 18 July 1986, Orders 139-5, DA HQ, US Army Signal Center and Fort Gordon GA, discharged the applicant from the Regular Army, effective date: 18 July 1986. The applicant authenticated the DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty) with his signature. His DD Form 214 indicates that he was discharged under the provisions of Chapter 14, Paragraph 12c, AR 635-200 by reason of misconduct with a characterization of service of under other than honorable conditions. Furthermore, the DD Form 214 shows a separation Code of JKQ (i.e., misconduct-commission of a serious offense). The specific facts and circumstances leading to the applicant’s discharge are not contained in the available records.

         b. On 18 July 1986, the applicant was discharged with an under other than honorable conditions discharge. At the time of discharge, the applicant had
9 months, and 17 days service on his current enlistment and 11 years, 7 months and 27 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.
