                         PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

      a.  Evidence of record shows that the unit commander notified the
applicant of initiation of separation action under the provisions of
Chapter l1, AR 635-200, by reason of entry level performance and conduct,
with an uncharacterized 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.  On 12 June 2000, the separation
authority waived further rehabilitative efforts and directed that the
applicant be discharged with an uncharacterized separation of service.

      b.  On 12 June 2000, the applicant was discharged.  At the time of
discharge, the applicant had completed 5 months, and 3 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 11, of this regulation, in effect at the time, provided, for the
separation of personnel due to unsatisfactory performance, conduct, or
both, while in an entry level status.  This provision of regulation applied
to individuals who had demonstrated that they were not qualified for
retention because they could not adapt socially or emotionally to military
life, or because they lacked the aptitude, ability, motivation or self
discipline for military service, or that they had demonstrated
characteristics not compatible with satisfactory continued service.  The
separation policy applies to soldiers who cannot meet the minimum standards
prescribed for successful completion of training because of lack of
aptitude, ability, motivation or self-discipline.  The regulation requires
uncharacterized service for separation under this chapter.
