PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

          a. The evidence of record shows that on 18June 1992, the applicant was barred from reenlistment. On 26 June 1992, the applicant voluntarily requested that he be separated from the US Army under the provisions of Chapter 16, AR 635-200 by reason of a locally imposed bar to reenlistment, because he felt he could not overcome it. The unit commander recommended approval. The separation authority approved the request and directed that the applicant be discharged with an honorable discharge.

         b. On 19 August 1992, the applicant was discharged with an honorable discharge, under the provisions of Chapter 16, AR 635-200, by reason of locally imposed bar to reenlistment. He was credited with 2 years, 2 months, and 26 days of active service on the enlistment under review and 6 years, 7 months and 23 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 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 during the period of enlistment under review. The Board noted that the applicant was voluntarily separated under the provisions of Chapter 16, Army Regulation 635-200, based on a locally imposed bar to reenlistment. Accordingly, the solider determined that he was unable to overcome the bar to reenlistment and requested immediate separation. The applicant authenticated a statement with his signature, which indicated that once separated, he would not be permitted to reenlist or be eligible for further service. Furthermore, the Board cannot change the applicant’s reentry eligibility (also known as the reenlistment) (RE) code. To obtain a change in an RE code, the applicant should provide supporting documentation to justify any change and submit the request to the Commander, US Army PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC-EPR-P, 2461 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22331-0450. 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
