VI. Facts, Circumstances, and Legal Basis for Separation
a. Facts and Circumstances:
The evidence of record shows that on 18 August 1994, the applicant reported to active duty as ordered to complete Initial Entry Level Training for the purpose of basic and advanced individual training for approximately 17 weeks or until completion of MOS training. 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 released 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 13 December 1994 and transferred back to the Florida Army National Guard.
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., completion of required initial active duty 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, the issue, and documents he submitted, the analyst recommend 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 general, under honorable conditions discharge is not authorized. Additionally, AR 601-210 states that RE codes are not applicable to RC Soldiers being separated for other than cause, the applicant was a member of the ARNG/RC and was appropriately assigned a reentry code of Not Applicable. In view of the aforementioned, the analyst determined that the reason for discharge and characterization of service were both proper and equitable and recommends to the Board to deny relief.
