                         PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

      a.  Evidence of record shows that on 7 January 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—commission of a serious offense, with a general, under honorable
conditions 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 9 January
1992, 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 14 January 1992, the applicant was discharged.  At the time of
discharge, the applicant had completed 3 years, 3 months, and 21 days of
active military service in the period under review and had a total of 5
years, 8 months and 15 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.
