SECTION A-ANALYST’S ASSESSMENT
l.  Facts and Circumstances:

	a.  The Department of the Army Active Duty Board (DAADB) conducted a comprehensive and impartial review of the applicant’s military record under the provisions of Chapter 3, AR 635-200.  This section provides for the involuntary release of officers whenever evidence reveals that he has committed a significant act of misconduct, moral or professional dereliction.  After careful deliberation the Board recommended that the applicant be involuntary release from active duty with an honorable character of service.  The Board further recommended that he should be referred to Commander, US Army Personnel Center, upon your release from active duty, for elimination from the US Army Reserve.  The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army approved the Board’s recommendations.

	b.  On 12 March 1992, the applicant was discharged under the provisions of Chapter 3, AR 635-100, by reason of misconduct with an HD.  At the time of discharge, the applicant had completed 5 years, 7 months, and 15 days active military service.  

	c.  On 13 March 1992 the applicant was transferred to the USAR Control Group (REINF), ARPERCEN, ST. Louis, Missouri.  On 11 April 1995 DA US Army Reserve Personnel Center, St. Louis, Missouri; Orders D-04532926 discharged the applicant from the US Army Reserve with a general discharge under the provisions of AR 135-175.

	d.  The applicant is requesting a reason change to his honorable discharge (DD Form 214) releasing him from active duty and an upgrade of his general discharge (Orders D-04-532926) from the US Army Reserve.

2.  Legal/Regulatory Basis for Separation Action:  Army Regulation 635-100 sets forth the basic authority for the separation of commissioned and warrant officers from the active Army.  Chapter 3, Section XII, establishes policy and procedures for involuntary relief from active duty.  Paragraph 3-49 (g) officers will be involuntarily released from active duty on the recommendation of the DA Active Duty Board (DAADB) for misconduct, moral or professional dereliction and/or when their degree of efficiency and manner of performance or the needs of the service require such action.

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 number(s) below correspond(s) to the issue number(s) on the DD Form 293, or in Part VI, Paragraph 1, above:

        (1), (2), and (3)  The issues are rejected.  The Board carefully examined the available records and the documents submitted by the applicant.  There was a full consideration of all faithful and honorable service as well as infraction of discipline, the extent thereof, and the seriousness of the offense.  The Board concluded that the applicant's release from active duty was appropriate because his misconduct was not consistent with the Army's standards for acceptable personal conduct by officers in the United States military.  The applicant provided no independent corroborating evidence demonstrating that either the command's action was erroneous or that the applicant’s service mitigated the misconduct.  The Board was satisfied that all requirements of law and regulation were met and the rights of the applicant were fully protected throughout the separation process.  The Board, being convinced that the reason for was both proper and equitable, voted to deny relief.
