VI. Facts, Circumstances, and Legal Basis for Separation
a. Facts and Circumstances:
The evidence of record shows that on 8 August 2002, the applicant was found guilty by a special court-martial of AWOL (020403-020710) and marijuana use (020114-020214). He was sentenced to be discharged with a Bad Conduct Discharge, confinement for 45 days, and forfeiture of $737 for two months. On 6 June 2003, the sentence was approved by Special Court Martial Order 87, Department of the Army, Headquarters, United States Army Armor Center and Fort Knox.
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 a 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. 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.
