PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. Evidence of record shows that on 17 January 2001, Orders 017-0311, DA, US Army Field Artillery School and Fort Sill, OK, discharged the applicant from the Regular Army, effective 19 January 2001. The record contains a properly constituted DD Form 214, (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) which was authenticated by the applicant’s signature. His DD Form 214 indicates that he was discharged under the provisions of Chapter 5, AR 635-200 by reason of failure to meet procurement medical fitness standards with an uncharacterized separation of service. The specific facts and circumstances leading to the applicant’s discharge are not contained in the available records.

         b. On 19 January 2001, the applicant was discharged. At the time of discharge, the applicant had completed 4 months, and 8 days, of active military service.

2. Legal/Regulatory Basis for Separation Action : Army Regulation 635-200 provides the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. Paragraph 5-11 specifically provides that soldiers who were not medically qualified under procurement medical fitness standards, when accepted for enlistment, or who became medically disqualified under these standards prior to entry on active duty or active duty training or initial entry training will be separated. A medical proceeding, regardless of the date completed, must establish that a medical condition was identified by appropriate medical authority within six months of the soldier’s initial entrance on active duty, that the condition would have permanently or temporarily disqualified the soldier for entry into the military service had it been detected at that time, and the medical condition does not disqualify the soldier from retention in the service under the provisions of Army Regulation 40-501, chapter 3. The characterization of service for soldiers separated under this provision of regulation will normally be honorable, but will be uncharacterized if the soldier is in an entry level status. Army regulation state that a soldier is in an entry level status if the soldier has not completed more than 180 days of creditable continuous active duty prior to the initiation of separation action.
