             from ARNG and as a reserve of the Army, effective 13 January 1992.

				CASE NO:  AD97-01606

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 correspond to the issue numbers on the DD Form 293, or in Part VI, Paragraph 1, above.

        (1)  The issue is rejected.  The issue is not a matter on which the Army Discharge Review Board grants a change in discharge because it raises no matter of fact, law, procedure, or discretion relating to the discharge process nor is it associated with the discharge at the time of issuance.  Furthermore, the Army Discharge Review Board is not empowered to make administrative corrections to the Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214).  The Board, being convinced that the reason for discharge was both proper and equitable, voted to deny relief.

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

      ( X ) NA
