PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW
SECTION A-ANALYST’S ASSESSMENT
l. Facts and Circumstances:
a. Evidence of record shows that on 30 November 1992, the unit
commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under
the provisions of Chapter l4, AR 635-200, by reason of misconduct—pattern
of misconduct, with an honorable discharge. He was advised of his rights.
The applicant consulted with legal counsel, was advised of the impact of
the discharge action, and did not submit a statement in his own behalf.
The unit commander subsequently recommended separation from the service and
waiver of further rehabilitative efforts. The intermediate commander(s)
reviewed the proposed discharge action and recommended approval of the
separation action with a general, under honorable conditions discharge. On
undated, the separation authority waived further rehabilitative efforts and
directed that the applicant be discharged with a characterization of
service of general, under honorable conditions.
b. On 24 December 1992, the applicant was discharged. At the time
of discharge, the applicant had completed 1 year, 4 months, and 5 days of
active military in the period under review.
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.

of this case report and directive.

b. Request: ( X ) Recharacterization ( ) Change of Reason
2. Finding(s), conclusion(s), and reason(s) for the Board's decision(s) on
issues of propriety and/or equity:
a. Propriety: The applicant has not submitted an issue of
propriety and the ADRB has not otherwise relied upon an
issue of propriety to change the discharge.
b. Equity: The parenthetical number(s) below correspond(s) to
the issue number(s) on the DD Form 293, or in Part VI,
Paragraph 1, above.
(1) The issue is rejected. The Board carefully examined the
applicant’s record of service during the period of enlistment under review.
There was a full consideration of all faithful and honorable service as
well as the infractions of discipline, the extent thereof, and the
seriousness of the offenses. The Board noted the applicant’s contentions,
however, the Board found sufficient misconduct and substandard performance
in his official record to warrant the separation action under review. The
applicant's discharge was appropriate because the quality of service was
not consistent with the Army's standards for acceptable personal conduct
and performance of duty by military personnel. The applicant provided no
independent corroborating evidence demonstrating that either the command’s
action was erroneous or that the applicant’s service mitigated the
misconduct. Before initiating action to separate the applicant, the
command ensured the applicant was appropriately counseled about the
deficiencies that could lead to separation. The Board noted that the
command made an assessment thereafter of the applicant's potential for
becoming a fully satisfactory soldier, and the command appropriately
determined the applicant did not demonstrate the potential for further
military service. The Board, being convinced that the reason for discharge
and the characterization of service were both proper and equitable, voted
to deny relief.
