VI. Facts, Circumstances, and Legal Basis for Separation
a. Facts and Circumstances:
The applicant’s record is void of the specific facts and circumstances
concerning the events that led to his discharge from the United States Army
Reserve. However, the applicant’s record does contain a separation order
273-1300, DA, HQ, United States Army Training Center, Fort Jackson, SC ,
discharging him from the United States Army Reserve, under the provisions
of AR 635-200, with an effective date: 30 September 2005. This document
identifies the Army Regulation governing the separation of enlisted members
from the United States Army Reserve and the analyst presumed Government
regularity in the discharge process.
b. Legal Basis for Separation:
Army Regulation 635-200 sets forth the basic authority for the
separation of enlisted personnel.
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 issues he
submitted, the analyst found no mitigating factors that would merit an
upgrade of the applicant’s discharge. The applicant’s record is void of
the specific facts and circumstances concerning the events that led to his
discharge from the United States Army Reserve. However, the applicant’s
record does contain a separation order 273-1300, DA, HQ, United States Army
Training Center, Fort Jackson, SC , discharging him from the United States
Army Reserve, under the provisions of AR 635-200, with an effective date:
30 September 2005. This document identifies the Army Regulation governing
the separation of enlisted members from the United States Army Reserve and
the analyst presumed Government regularity in the discharge process.
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. Furthermore, at
the time of discharge the applicant was appropriately assigned a reentry
eligibility (RE) code of “4.” An RE code of “4” can not be waived and the
applicant is no longer eligible for reenlistment. In view of the foregoing
the analyst determined that the reason for discharge and the
characterization of service were both proper and equitable.
