VI. Facts, Circumstances, and Legal Basis for Separation
a. Facts and Circumstances:
The record contains a properly constituted DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), which was authenticated by the applicants signature. His DD Form 214 indicates that he was discharged under the provisions of Chapter 14, AR 635-200, by reason of misconduct-pattern of misconduct with a characterization of service of general, under honorable conditions and a reeentry eligibility code of 3. Furthermore, the DD Form 214 shows a Separation Code of JKA (i.e., misconduct-pattern of misconduct.) The applicants record is void of the specific facts and circumstances concerning the events that led to his discharge from the Army.
b. Legal Basis for Separation:
Army Regulation 635-200 sets forth the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. Chapter 14 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.
c. Response to Issues, Recommendation and Rationale:
After a careful review of all the applicants available military records, the issue he submitted and the supporting documentation, the analyst found no mitigating factors that would merit an upgrade of the applicants discharge. The applicants record is void of the specific facts and circumstances concerning the events that led to his discharge from the Army. However, the applicants record does contain a properly constituted DD Form 214, which was authenticated by the applicant's signature. This document identifies the reason and characterization of the discharge and the analyst presumed Government regularity in the discharge process. That DD Form 214 indicates that the applicant was discharged under the provisions of Chapter 14, AR 635-200, paragraph 12b by reason of misconduct-pattern of misconduct, with a characterization of service of general, under honorable conditions. Barring evidence to the contrary, the analyst was satisfied that all requirements of law and regulation were met and the rights of the applicant were fully protected throughout the separation process. Therefore, it is recommended to the Board that the reason for discharge and the characterization of service were both proper and equitable.
