VI. Facts, Circumstances, and Legal Basis for Separation
a. Facts and Circumstances:
The record does contain a properly constituted DD Form 214
(Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) which was
authenticated by the applicant’s signature. His DD Form 214 indicates that
he was discharged from the regular Army under the provisions of Chapter 4,
AR 635-200 by reason of expiration term of service, with service
uncharacterized.
b. Legal Basis for Separation:
Army Regulation 635-200, in effect at the time, set forth the basic
authority for separation of enlisted personnel. Chapter 4 of that
regulation provided, in pertinent part, for the separation of individuals
at completion of required service (i.e., expiration term of service).
c. Response to Issues, Recommendation and Rationale:
After a careful review of all the applicant's available military
records during the period of enlistment under review, the issues and
documents he submitted, the analyst recommends that relief be denied in
this case. The evidence of record shows that the applicant, while in entry-
level status, was released from active duty for training under the
provisions of Chapter 4, AR 635-200, by reason of expiration term of
service with service uncharacterized. The characterization of service for
Soldiers separated under this provision of the regulation will normally be
honorable, unless the Soldier is in entry-level status. A Soldier is in
entry-level status for the first 180 days of continuous active duty. Army
Regulation 635-200 also provides, except in cases of serious misconduct,
that a Soldier’s service will be uncharacterized when separated in entry-
level status. For ARNG and USAR soldiers ordered to IADT/ADT, entry-level
status terminates 180 days after the beginning of training. In view of the
aforementioned, the analyst determined that the narrative reason for
discharge and characterization of service were both proper and equitable.
