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

      a.  Evidence of record shows that on 15 September 1995, the unit
commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under
the provisions of Chapter l3, AR 635-200, by reason of unsatisfactory
performance, 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.
On 10 October 1995, 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 2 November 1995, the applicant was discharged.  At the time of
discharge, the applicant had completed 1 year, 7 months, and 9 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 13 contains the policy and outlines the procedures for separating
individuals for unsatisfactory performance, and provides, in pertinent
part, that commanders will separate a member under this chapter when, in
the commander's judgment, the member will not develop sufficiently to
participate satisfactorily in further training and/or become a satisfactory
soldier.  Army policy states that a general discharge, under honorable
conditions is normally considered appropriate, but an honorable discharge
may be granted in meritorious cases.
