VI.  Facts, Circumstances, and Legal Basis for Separation

      a.  Facts and Circumstances:
      The facts and circumstances pertaining to the applicant’s discharge from the State of Delaware Army National Guard are not contained in the available records.  However, the record does contain a properly constituted NGB Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service), which the applicant was unavailable for signature.  It indicates that the applicant was discharged under the provisions of Paragraph 8-26q, NGR 600-200, by reason of acts or patterns of misconduct with a characterization of service of general, under honorable conditions and a reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of "3."  On 22 January 1994, the State Of Delaware, Department Of Military Affairs, HQ, Delaware National Guard, Wilmington, DE, Orders 015-010, discharged the applicant from the Army National Guard and as a Reserve of the Army, effective date:  24 January 1994, with a general, under honorable conditions discharge. 

      b.  Legal Basis for Separation:  
      National Guard Regulation (NGR) 600-200 and Army Regulation 135-178 govern procedures for the administrative separation of enlisted personnel of the Army National Guard and Army Reserve.  Chapter 8 of NGR 600-200 covers, in pertinent part, reasons for discharge and separation of enlisted personnel from the State Army National Guard and as a Reserve of the Army.  The regulation defines misconduct by reason of one or more of the following:  minor disciplinary infractions, a pattern of misconduct, commission of a serious offense, abuse of illegal drugs, and conviction by civil authorities.
      
      

      c.  Response to Issues, Recommendation and Rationale:  
      After a careful review of all the applicant’s available military records for the period of enlistment under review and the issue he submitted, the analyst recommends that relief be denied in this case.  The applicant’s record is void of the specific facts and circumstances concerning the events that led to his discharge from the State of Delaware Army National Guard and a Reserve of  the Army.  However, the record does contain a properly constituted NGB Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service), which the applicant was unavailable for signature.  This document identifies the reason and characterization of the service and the analyst presumed Government regularity in the discharge process.  The evidence of record shows the applicant was discharged under the provisions of Chapter 8, paragraph 8-26q, NGR 600-200, by reason of acts or patterns 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, the reason for discharge and the characterization of service remains both proper and equitable.
