PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

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

	a.  The evidence of record shows that on 15 April 1991, the unit commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under the provisions of Chapter 7, AR 635-200 by reason of fraudulent enlistment, with an under other than honorable conditions discharge.  He was advised of his rights.  The applicant acknowledged notification, consulted with legal counsel, was advised of the impact of the discharge action, and did not submit a statement in his own behalf.  The unit commander subsequently recommended approval of an under other than honorable conditions discharge and forwarded it through command channels to the separation authority.  The intermediate commanders reviewed the proposed discharge action and recommended approval with an under other than honorable conditions discharge.  On 3 June 1991, the separation authority directed that the applicant be discharged with an under other than honorable conditions discharge.  

	b.  On 6 June 1991, the applicant was discharged.  He was credited with 
6 months, and 23 days active service on the enlistment under review.  

2.  Legal/Regulatory Basis for Separation Action:  Army Regulation 635-200 sets forth the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel.  Chapter 7, paragraph 7-17, of that regulation provides, in pertinent part, that a fraudulent entry is the procurement of an enlistment, reenlistment, or period of active service through any deliberate material misrepresentation, omission, or concealment of information which, if known and considered by the Army at the time of enlistment or reenlistment, might have resulted in rejection.  This includes all disqualifying information requiring a waiver.  A soldier who concealed his or her conviction by civil court of a felonious offense normally will not be considered for retention.  Soldiers separated under this chapter may be awarded an honorable discharge, or a general discharge, or a discharge under other than honorable conditions.  If in an entry level status the characterization will be uncharacterized.
