VI. Facts, Circumstances, and Legal Basis for Separation
a. Facts and Circumstances:
The evidence shows the applicants record is void of the specific facts and circumstances concerning the events that led to her discharge from the Army Reserve. The evidence indicates that on 16 August 2007, Department of the Army and the Air Force, Joint Force Headquarters, Phoenix, Arizona, Orders 228-644 discharged the applicant from the Army Reserve, effective date 06 August 2007, with an uncharacterized discharge. The record does contain a properly constituted NGB Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service). It indicates that the applicant was discharged under the provisions of Paragraph 8-35c, NGR 600-200, by reason of other designated physical or mental conditions, with a characterization of service of uncharacterized, and a reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of "3."
b. Legal Basis for Separation:
National Guard Regulation (NGR) 600-200 and Army Regulation 135-178 govern procedures covering enlisted personnel of the Army National Guard. Chapter 7 of NGR 600-200 covers, in pertinent part, discharge and separation of enlisted personnel for misconduct due to unsatisfactory participation. Army Regulation 135-91 states that a member is an unsatisfactory participant when nine or more unexcused absences from scheduled drills occur during a 1 year period. An enlisted member separated for misconduct which includes unsatisfactory participation will normally be furnished a characterization of service of under other than honorable conditions in accordance with Army Regulation 135-178.
c. Response to Issues, Recommendation and Rationale:
After a careful review of all the applicants available records for the period of enlistment under review, and the issue she submitted, the analyst found no mitigating factors that would merit an upgrade of the applicant's discharge. The applicants record is void of the specific facts and circumstances concerning the events that led to her discharge from the Army Reserve. However, the applicants record contains a properly constituted NGB Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service) which identifies the reason and characterization of the discharge and the analyst presumed Government regularity in the discharge process. The applicants NGB Form 22 shows the applicant, while in entry-level status, was discharged under the provisions of Chapter 8, Paragraph 35c (f), NGR 600-200, by reason of other designated physical or mental conditions with service uncharacterized. Therefore, the analyst recommends that the reason for discharge and the characterization of service remains both proper and equitable and recommends to the Board to deny relief.
