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

      a.  Evidence of record shows that on 18 January 2001, the applicant
was diagnosed by competent medical authority with a Social Anxiety Disorder
and was recommended for expeditious separation under the provisions of
Chapter 5, Paragraph 5-17, AR 635-200.  On 21 February 2001, the unit
commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under
the provisions of Chapter 5, Paragraph 5-17, AR 635-200, by reason of other
designation physical or mental condition, with an honorable discharge.  She
was advised of her rights.  The applicant consulted with legal counsel, was
advised of the impact of the discharge action, and did not submit a
statement in her own behalf.  The unit commander subsequently recommended
separation from the service and waiver of further rehabilitative efforts.
The intermediate commander reviewed the proposed discharge action and
recommended approval of the separation action with an honorable discharge.
On 28 February 2001, the separation authority waived further rehabilitative
efforts and directed that the applicant be discharged with a
characterization of service of honorable.

      b.  On 7 March 2001, the applicant was discharged.  At the time of
discharge, the applicant had completed 5 months and 25 days of active
military service in the period under review.

2.  Legal/Regulatory Basis for Separation Action:  Army Regulation 635-200
provides the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel.
Paragraph 5-17 provides that a soldier may be separated for other physical
or mental conditions not amounting to a disability under Army Regulation
635-40, that interferes with assignment to or performance of duty.  The
regulation requires that the condition interferes with the soldiers’
ability to perform duty, and requires that the diagnosis be so severe that
the soldier’s ability to function in the military environment is
significantly impaired.  Army policy states that the service of personnel
separated under this paragraph will be characterized as honorable, general,
under honorable conditions, or uncharacterized if in entry-level status.  A
general, under honorable conditions discharge is normally inappropriate for
individuals separated under the provisions of Chapter 5-17.

                        PART VI - ISSUES AND FINDINGS

1.  a.  Applicant's issue(s) of propriety and/or equity:

          ( X )  Same as those listed on DD Form 293 and Part IV, Section A
              of this case report and directive.
          (   )  Revised issue(s) furnished in writing by applicant as
              follows:
          (   )  Additional issue(s) identified during review/hearing as
              follows:


      b.  Request:  (   ) Recharacterization     ( X ) 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 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
available record of service during the period of enlistment under review.
The evidence of record shows that on 18 January 2001, the applicant was
diagnosed by competent medical authority with a Social Anxiety Disorder and
was recommended for expeditious separation under the provisions of Chapter
5, Paragraph 5-17, AR 635-200.  On 21 February 2001, the unit commander
notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under the
provisions of Chapter 5, Paragraph 5-17, AR 635-200, by reason of physical
condition, not a disability, with an honorable discharge.  However, someone
in the discharge process improperly changed the applicant’s narrative
reason for separation to Chapter 5, Paragraph 5-13, AR 635-200, personality
disorder.  Accordingly, the Board directed an administrative correction to
the narrative reason for discharge to Chapter 5, Paragraph 5-17, AR 635-
200, as approved by the separation authority.  This action entails a change
in the SPD code to “JFV.”  Table 2-3 (SPD/RE Code Cross Reference Table),
AR 635-5 (Separation Documents) establishes RE Code 3 as the proper reentry
code to assign to soldiers separated under the provisions of Chapter 5,
Paragraph 5-17, AR 635-200.  A review of the applicant’s assigned RE code
shows that she was appropriately assigned an RE code of 3.  An RE Code of 3
indicates that the applicant requires a waiver prior to being allowed to
reenlist.  If the applicant desires to reenlist, she should contact the
local recruiter to determine her eligibility to reenlist.  Those
individuals can best advise a former service member as to the needs of the
military services, and are required to process waivers of RE codes.

      b.  Equity:      The applicant has not submitted an issue of equity
                   and the ADRB has not otherwise relied upon an issue of
                   equity to change the discharge.  The major factors upon
                   which the discharge was based are set forth in Parts III
                   and IV of this decisional document.
