VI. Facts, Circumstances, and Legal Basis for Separation
a. Facts and Circumstances:
The evidence of record shows that on 1 October 1998, the applicant was found guilty by a special court-martial of wrongfully possessing and distributing fifty-five dosage units of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (980512). He was sentenced to be discharged with a Bad Conduct Discharge and confinement for six months. On 1 October 1998, the sentence was adjudged. The record of trial was forwarded to The Judge Advocate General of The Army for review by the Court of Military Review. On 1 October 1998, The United States Army Court of Military Review affirmed the approved findings of guilty and the sentence. On 1 October 1998 the sentence having been affirmed pursuant to Article 112a having been complied with, the sentence was ordered to be executed.
b. Legal Basis for Separation:
Army Regulation 635-200 sets forth the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. Chapter 3, Section IV, establishes policy and procedures for separating members with a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge; and provides that a soldier will be given a bad conduct discharge pursuant only to an approved sentence of a general or special court-martial; and that the appellate review must be completed and the affirmed sentence ordered duly executed.
c. Response to Issues, Recommendation and Rationale:
After a careful review of all the applicants military records, the analyst found no mitigating factors that would warrant clemency. There was full consideration of all faithful and honorable service as well as the incidents of misconduct. The evidence of record indicates that the applicant was adjudged guilty by a court-martial and that the sentence was approved by the convening authority. Court-martial convictions stand as adjudged or modified by appeal through the judicial process. The analyst is empowered to recommend a change to the discharge only if clemency is determined to be appropriate. Clemency is an act of mercy, or instance of leniency, to moderate the severity of the punishment imposed. After a thorough review of the applicants record and the issue he submitted, the analyst found no cause for clemency and therefore recommend to the Board no clemency.
