PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. The evidence of record shows that on undated, 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 acknowledged notification, consulted with legal counsel, was advised of the impact of the discharge action, and did not submit a statement on his behalf. The unit commander subsequently recommended waiver of further rehabilitative efforts. On 30 October 1992, the separation authority waived further rehabilitative efforts and directed that the applicant be discharged with a general discharge.

         b. On 5 November 1992, the applicant was discharged. At the time of discharge, the applicant had 11 months, and 21 days on his current enlistment
and 3 years, 7 months and 21 days total time in service.

         c. The unit commander recommended the applicant be separated from the Army due to his numerous counseling statements for failing to meet battery level standards, failing to be at his appointed place of duty, writing bad checks, and disobeying orders.

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.
