PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. Evidence of record shows that on 11 October 1989, the unit commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under the provisions of Chapter l4, AR 635-200, by reason of misconduct—commission of a serious offense, with a general, under honorable conditions discharge. She was advised of her rights. The applicant consulted with legal counsel, was advised of the impact of the discharge action, requested a hearing by a board of officers and did not submit a statement on her behalf. The unit commander subsequently recommended separation with a general, under honorable conditions discharge. The intermediate commander reviewed the proposed discharge action and recommended approval of the separation action with a general, under honorable conditions discharge. The applicant appeared with counsel before a board of officers on 1 December 1989. The board recommended separation for misconduct-commission of a serious offense with a characterization of general, under honorable conditions. On 19 December 1989, the separation authority directed that the applicant be discharged with a general, under honorable conditions discharge.

         b. On 9 January 1990, the applicant was discharged. At the time of discharge, the applicant had 1 year, 2 months, and 16 days service on her current enlistment and 11 years, and 11 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.
