PART VI - ISSUES AND FINDINGS

1.  a.  Applicant's issue(s) of propriety and/or equity:
	    ( X )	Same as those listed on DD Form 293 and Part IV, Section A, Paragraph 2.
	    (   )	Revised issue(s) furnished in writing by applicant as follows:
	    (   )	Additional issue(s) identified during review/hearing as follows:

    b.  Request:  (  ) Recharacterization    ( X ) Change of Reason

2.  Finding(s), conclusion(s), and reason(s) for the Board's decision(s) on issues of propriety and/or equity:

	a.  Propriety:	The applicant has not submitted an issue of propriety and the ADRB has not otherwise relied upon an issue of propriety to change the discharge.

	b.  Equity:	The parenthetical numbers below corresponds to the issue numbers on the DD Form 293, or in Part VI, Paragraph 1, above.

       (1-2)  The issues are rejected.  The Board noted that the applicant requested to be separated under the provisions of paragraph 16-5, Army Regulation 635-200, based on the applicant’s perceived inability to overcome a locally imposed bar to reenlistment.  The request for separation clearly stated that once separated, the applicant would not be permitted to reenlist at a later date and would be ineligible for further service.  The Board found the reason for discharge to be both proper and equitable and voted to deny relief.

3.  Response to item(s) not addressed as decisional issue(s):  ( X ) NA

			CASE NO:  AD97-00138
