PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

         a. 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 14, AR 635-200 by reason of misconduct, with a characterization of service of under other than honorable conditions. The specific facts and circumstances leading to the applicant’s discharge are not contained in the available records.

         b. On 21 December 1999, the applicant was discharged. At the time of discharge, the applicant had completed 1 year, 11 months, and 6 days of active military service in the period under review and had a total of 13 years, 9 months, and 27 days of active military 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.
