PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

          a. The evidence of record shows that on 18 June 1985, Orders 117-19, State of OH, Adjutant General’s Department, OH, discharged the applicant from the ARNG, effective date: 1 July 1985. The applicant was not available to sign his NGB Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service). His NGB Form 22 indicates that he was discharged under the provisions of Chapter 7, Paragraph 7-10r, NGR 600-200 by reason of unsatisfactory participation with a characterization of service of general. The specific facts and circumstances leading to the applicant’s discharge are not contained in the available records.

         b. On 1 July 1985, the applicant was discharged. He was credited with
7 years, 3 months, and 20 days active service on the enlistment under review.

         c. The applicant received notification of his unexcused absences on 27 February 1985 and 2 April 1985. In addition, on 8 March 1985 he was charged with 10 unexcused absences within a one year period and, in view of the unexcused absences, was declared an unsatisfactory participant and recommended for consideration for discharge.

2. Legal/Regulatory Basis for Separation Action : National Guard Regulation (NGR) 600-200 and Army Regulation 135-178 govern procedures covering enlisted personnel of the Army National Guard. Chapter 7 of NGR 600-200 covers, in pertinent part, discharge and separation of enlisted personnel for misconduct due to unsatisfactory participation. Army Regulation 135-91 states that a member is an unsatisfactory participant when nine or more unexcused absences from scheduled drills occur during a 1 year period. An enlisted member separated for misconduct which includes unsatisfactory participation will normally be furnished a characterization of service of under other than honorable conditions in accordance with Army Regulation 135-178.
