VI. Facts, Circumstances, and Legal Basis for Separation
a. Facts and Circumstances:
The evidence of record shows that on 1 February 2006, Department of Defense, Military Entrance Processing Station, Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico, 00934-4206, issued self terminating Orders 6032007. This order initiated the applicant's initial active duty for training (IADT), effective date 1 February 2006, for approximately 16 weeks, which upon completion of the training period, unless sooner relieved by proper authority, also ordered the applicant to return home. 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 release from active duty training under the provisions of Chapter 4, AR 635-200 by reason of completion of required active service, with service uncharacterized. Furthermore, the DD Form 214 shows a Separation Code of MBK (i.e., completion of required active service). Following completion of MOS training course, the applicant was released from active duty training, with an effective date of 3 June 2006, and tranferred to the 755th MP CO, ARECIDO, PR 00934.
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). The characterization of service for Soldiers separated under this provision of regulation will normally be honorable, but will be uncharacterized if the Soldier is in an entry-level status. For ARNG and USAR Soldiers ordered to IADT/ADT, entry-level status terminates 180 days after beginning training.
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 and the issue 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 completion of required active 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 Soldiers 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. Furthermore, for Soldiers in entry-level status, a fully honorable discharge may be granted only in cases which are clearly warranted by unusual circumstances involving outstanding personal conduct and/or performance of duty. The analyst determined that no such unusual circumstances were present in the applicants record and his service did not warrant an honorable discharge. In view of the aforementioned, the analyst determined that the reason for discharge and characterization of service were both proper and equitable.
