APPLICANT-PROVIDED EVIDENCE: DD Form 293; Legal Brief with all listed exhibits A through O; and training certificates. 6. POST SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: None submitted with the application. 7. STATUTORY, REGULATORY AND POLICY REFERENCE(S): a. Section 1553, Title 10, United States Code (Review of Discharge or Dismissal) provides for the creation, composition, and scope of review conducted by a Discharge Review Board(s) within established governing standards. As amended by Sections 521 and 525 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, 10 USC 1553 provides specific guidance to the Military Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records and Discharge Review Boards when considering discharge upgrade requests by Veterans claiming PTSD, TBI, sexual trauma, intimate partner violence (IPV), or spousal abuse, as a basis for discharge review. The amended guidance provides that Boards will include, as a voting board member, a physician trained in mental health disorders, a clinical psychologist, or a psychiatrist when the discharge upgrade claim asserts a mental health condition, including PTSD, TBI, sexual trauma, IPV, or spousal abuse, as a basis for the discharge. Further, the guidance provides that Military Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records and Discharge Review Boards will develop and provide specialized training specific to sexual trauma, IPV, spousal abuse, as well as the various responses of individuals to trauma. b. Multiple Department of Defense Policy Guidance Memoranda published between 2014 and 2018. The documents are commonly referred to by the signatory authorities' last names (2014 Secretary of Defense Guidance [Hagel memo], 2016 Acting Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness [Carson memo], 2017 Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness [Kurta memo], and 2018 Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness [Wilkie memo]. (1) Individually and collectively, these documents provide further clarification to the Military Discharge Review Boards and Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records when considering requests by Veterans for modification of their discharge due to mental health conditions, including PTSD; TBI; sexual assault; or sexual harassment. Liberal consideration will be given to Veterans petitioning for discharge relief when the application for relief is based in whole or in part on matters relating to mental health conditions, including PTSD; TBI; sexual assault; or sexual harassment. Special consideration will be given to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) determinations that document a mental health condition, including PTSD; TBI; or sexual assault/harassment potentially contributed to the circumstances resulting in a less than honorable discharge characterization. Special consideration will also be given in cases where a civilian provider confers diagnoses of a mental health condition, including PTSD; TBI; or sexual assault/harassment if the case records contain narratives supporting symptomatology at the time of service or when any other evidence which may reasonably indicate that a mental health condition, including PTSD; TBI; or sexual assault/harassment existed at the time of discharge might have mitigated the misconduct that caused a discharge of lesser characterization. (2) Conditions documented in the service record that can reasonably be determined to have existed at the time of discharge will be considered to have existed at the time of discharge. In cases in which a mental health condition, including PTSD; TBI; or sexual assault/harassment may be reasonably determined to have existed at the time of discharge, those conditions will be considered potential mitigating factors in the misconduct that caused the characterization of service in question. All Boards will exercise caution in weighing evidence of mitigation in cases in which serious misconduct precipitated a discharge with a less than Honorable characterization of service. Potentially mitigating evidence of the existence of undiagnosed combat related PTSD, PTSD-related conditions due to TBI or sexual assault/harassment as causative factors in the misconduct resulting in discharge will be carefully weighed against the severity of the misconduct. PTSD is not a likely cause of premeditated misconduct. Caution shall be exercised in weighing evidence of mitigation in all cases of misconduct by carefully considering the likely causal relationship of symptoms to the misconduct. c. Army Regulation 15-180 (Army Discharge Review Board) sets forth the policies and procedures under which the Army Discharge Review Board is authorized to review the character, reason, and authority of any Servicemember discharged from active military service within 15 years of the Servicemember's date of discharge. Additionally, it prescribes actions and composition of the Army Discharge Review Board under Public Law 95-126; Section 1553, Title 10 United States Code; and Department of Defense Directive 1332.41 and Instruction 1332.28. d. Army Regulation 635-200 provides the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. (1) Chapter 3, Section II provides the authorized types of characterization of service or description of separation. (2) Paragraph 3-7a states an Honorable discharge is a separation with honor and is appropriate when the quality of the Soldier's service generally has met the standards of acceptable conduct and performance of duty for Army personnel or is otherwise so meritorious that any other characterization would be clearly inappropriate. (3) Paragraph 3-7b states a General discharge is a separation from the Army under honorable conditions and is issued to a Soldier whose military record is satisfactory but not sufficiently meritorious to warrant an honorable discharge. (4) Paragraph 3-7c states Under Other Than Honorable Conditions discharge is an administrative separation from the Service under conditions other than honorable and it may be issued for misconduct, fraudulent entry, security reasons, or in lieu of trial by court martial based on certain circumstances or patterns of behavior or acts or omissions that constitute a significant departure from the conduct expected of Soldiers in the Army. (5) Chapter 14 establishes policy and prescribes procedures for separating members for misconduct. Specific categories include minor disciplinary infractions, a pattern of misconduct, and commission of a serious offense, to include abuse of illegal drugs, convictions by civil authorities and desertion or being absent without leave. Action will be taken to separate a member for misconduct when it is clearly established that rehabilitation is impractical or unlikely to succeed. (6) Paragraph 14-3 prescribes a discharge under other than honorable conditions is normally appropriate for a Soldier discharged under this chapter. However, the separation authority may direct a general discharge if such is merited by the Soldier's overall record. (7) Paragraph 14-12b, addresses a pattern of misconduct consisting of either discreditable involvement with civilian or military authorities or discreditable conduct and conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline including conduct violating the accepted standards of personal conduct found in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Army Regulations, the civilian law and time-honored customs and traditions of the Army. (8) Chapter 15 provides explicitly for separation under the prerogative of the Secretary of the Army. Secretarial plenary separation authority is exercised sparingly and seldom delegated. Ordinarily, it is used when no other provision of this regulation applies, and early separation is clearly in the Army's best interest. Separations under this paragraph are effective only if approved in writing by the Secretary of the Army or the Secretary's approved designee as announced in updated memoranda. Secretarial separation authority is normally exercised on a case-by-case basis. e. Army Regulation 635-5-1 (Separation Program Designator (SPD) Codes) provides the specific authorities (regulatory or directive), reasons for separating Soldiers from active duty, and the SPD codes to be entered on the DD Form 214. It identifies the SPD code of "JKA" as the appropriate code to assign enlisted Soldiers who are discharged under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, Chapter 14, paragraph 12b, pattern of misconduct. f. Army Regulation 601-210, Regular Army and Reserve Components Enlistment Program, governs eligibility criteria, policies, and procedures for enlistment and processing of persons into the Regular Army, the U.S. Army Reserve, and Army National Guard for enlistment per DODI 1304.26. It also prescribes the appointment, reassignment, management, and mobilization of Reserve Officers' Training Corps cadets under the Simultaneous Membership Program. Chapter 4 provides the criteria and procedures for waiverable and nonwaiverable separations. Table 3-1, defines reentry eligibility (RE) codes: RE-1 Applies to: Person completing his or her term of active service who is considered qualified to reenter the U.S. Army. Eligibility: Qualified for enlistment if all other criteria are met. RE-3 Applies to: Person who is not considered fully qualified for reentry or continuous service at time of separation, but disqualification is waiverable. Eligibility: Ineligible unless a waiver is granted. RE-4 Applies to: Person separated from last period of service with a nonwaiverable disqualification. This includes anyone with a DA imposed bar to reenlistment in effect at time of separation or separated for any reason (except length of service retirement) with 18 or more years active Federal service. Eligibility: Ineligible for enlistment. 8. SUMMARY OF FACT(S): The Army Discharge Review Board considers applications for upgrade as instructed by Department of Defense Instruction 1332.28. The applicant requests an upgrade to honorable and change the narrative reason to "Secretarial Authority" and reentry eligibility (RE) code to 1 or 2. The applicant's Army Military Human Resources Record (AMHRR), the issues, and documents submitted with the application were carefully reviewed. The applicant's DD Form 214 shows the applicant served 7 years, 2 months, and 2 days during which the applicant served 5 months and 11 days in Afghanistan between 2013 and 2014. The applicant received 26 developmental counseling forms, for various acts of misconduct between 2018 and 2019. The applicant was discharged with a general (under honorable conditions) characterization of service on 9 July 2014. The applicant, through counsel requests, in effect, the narrative reason for the discharge to be changed to "Secretarial Authority." The applicant was separated under the provisions of Chapter 14, paragraph 14-12b, AR 635-200 with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge. The narrative reason specified by Army Regulations for a discharge under this paragraph is "Pattern of Misconduct," and the separation code is "JKA." Army Regulation 635-8, Separation Processing and Documents, governs preparation of the DD Form 214, and dictates entry of the narrative reason for separation, entered in block 28 and separation code, entered in block 26 of the form, will be exactly as listed in tables 2-2 or 2-3 of AR 635-5-1, Separation Program Designator (SPD) Codes. The regulation stipulates no deviation is authorized. There is no provision for any other reason to be entered under this regulation. The applicant, through counsel requests, in effect, the RE code be changed. Soldiers processed for separation are assigned reentry codes based on their service records or the reason for discharge. Based on Army Regulation 601-201, the applicant was appropriately assigned an RE code of "3." There is no basis upon which to grant a change to the reason or the RE code. An RE Code of "3" indicates the applicant requires a waiver before being allowed to reenlist. Recruiters can best advise a former service member as to the Army's needs at the time and are required to process waivers of RE codes if appropriate. RE Code 2 applies to Soldiers separated prior to 30 September 2016. RE Code 2 will not be used. The applicant through counsel contends, in effect, the Board should upgrade the applicant's discharge because the applicant's PTSD and TBI were incurred during service, and serve to mitigate, excuse, and outweigh the discharge. Counsel provides: Outpatient Note, Army Community Hospital Bassett-Wainwright, 25 June 2017, shows the applicant was diagnosed with a traumatic hemorrhage of the cerebrum, unspecified, without consciousness, initial encounter after falling six feet off gymnastics rings onto the applicant's back striking the back of the applicant's head at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. Outpatient Note, Robinson Clinic, Fort Bragg, 24 May 2018, shows the applicant had a possible TBI and was diagnosed with concussion without loss of consciousness, initial encounter after flipping off a mountain bike on 21 May 2018, while headed to work at Fort Bragg, NC. Outpatient Note, Robinson Clinic, Fort Bragg, 6 February 2019, shows the applicant was diagnosed with a concussion with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, sequela, after being injured during a parachute landing for an airborne training operation on 6 February 2019. Outpatient Note, Concussion Care Clinic, Fort Bragg, 11 February 2019, shows the applicant was diagnosed with a post-traumatic headache, unspecified, not intractable because of injury during a parachute landing for an airborne training operation on 6 February 2019. Separation Behavioral Health Assessment, Robinson Clinic, Fort Bragg, 18 April 2019, shows the applicant was screened for TBI with positive results (score of 2). Based on the positive TBI screening, additional evaluation was completed. Associated symptoms did not constitute matters of extenuation that relate to the basis for administrative separation (symptoms did not significantly contribute to the reason for separation). Substance Use Disorder Clinical Care Intake at Robinson Clinic, Fort Bragg, 2 May 2019, shows the applicant was command referred for alcohol use and diagnosed with alcohol dependence, uncomplicated. PCL-5 testing resulted in moderate PTSD symptoms. Psychiatry Attending Note, 4 February 2020, shows alcohol dependence, history of TBI(s), and PTSD. VA Primary Care Note, 4 February 2020, shows the applicant was admitted for TBI and substance abuse. The applicant's past medical history consists of PTSD, TBI, alcohol dependence, and left foot fracture. Behavioral Health Assessment conducted by Psychologist S__ B__, 7 February 2020, shows a diagnosis with chronic PTSD related to combat alcohol use disorder, moderate to severe. Veterans Affairs Medical Center discharge summary shows the applicant was admitted on 5 February 2020 and discharged on 29 May 2020. The applicant was diagnosed with alcohol dependence, PTSD, nicotine dependence, and history of TBI. The AMHRR shows the applicant underwent a MSE on 18 April 2019, which indicates the applicant was mentally responsible and recognized right from wrong. The MSE does not indicate any diagnosis. 9. BOARD DISCUSSION AND DETERMINATION: a. As directed by the 2017 memo signed by A.M. Kurta, the board considered the following factors: (1) Did the applicant have a condition or experience that may excuse or mitigate the discharge? Yes. The Board's Medical Advisor, a voting member, reviewed the applicant's DOD and VA health records, applicant's statement, and/or civilian provider documentation and found that the applicant has the following potentially mitigating diagnoses/experiences: PTSD related to combat; TBI; Catatonic Schizophrenia. (2) Did the condition exist or experience occur during military service? Yes. The Board's Medical Advisor found that TBI (also known as Post-Concussive Syndrome) was diagnosed while in active service. The diagnoses of PTSD and Schizophrenia have been ascertained by the VA to have occurred and/or begun in service. (3) Does the condition or experience actually excuse or mitigate the discharge? Yes. The Board's Medical Advisor applied liberal consideration and opined that that the applicant has several mitigating BH conditions: PTSD, TBI and Catatonic Schizophrenia. (4) Does the condition or experience outweigh the discharge? Yes. Based on liberally considering all the evidence before the Board, the ADRB determined that the condition or experience outweighed the basis of separation due to the applicant's mitigating BH conditions. b. Response to Contention: The applicant through counsel contends, in effect, the Board should upgrade the applicant's discharge because the applicant's PTSD and TBI were incurred during service, and serve to mitigate, excuse, and outweigh the discharge. The Board determined that this contention was valid and voted to upgrade the characterization of service due to applicant's several mitigating BH conditions: PTSD, TBI and Catatonic Schizophrenia. c. The Board determined the discharge is inequitable based on the applicant's BH mitigation of the misconduct. The Board voted to grant relief in the form of an upgrade of the characterization of service to honorable, with a narrative reason change to Secretarial Authority. The Board also voted not to change the reentry (RE) code. However, the applicant may request a personal appearance hearing to address further issues before the Board. The applicant is responsible for satisfying the burden of proof and providing documents or other evidence sufficient to support the applicant's contention(s) that the discharge was improper or inequitable. d. Rationale for Decision: (1) The Board voted to grant relief in the form of an upgrade of the characterization of service to honorable, with a narrative reason change to Secretarial Authority. The Board's Medical Advisor applied liberal consideration and opined that the applicant has several mitigating BH conditions: PTSD, TBI and Catatonic Schizophrenia. Record review indicates that the VA has diagnosed him with PTSD and Schizophrenia. Military medical records indicate that he has incurred several head injuries, one of which resulted in a skull fracture and bleeding in the brain. While he was not diagnosed with Schizophrenia while on active duty, record review indicates he did exhibit prodromal symptoms of schizophrenia which manifested as odd behaviors (talking to birds, taking a shower with his clothes on, trying to swim across the St Lawrence River to get into Canada). As there is an association between these conditions, avoidant behaviors, oppositional behaviors and problems with authority figures, there is a nexus between these conditions and his offenses of multiple FTRs, multiple incidents of failing to obey orders and several instances of being disrespectful toward NCOs. In the BH Advisor's opinion, all the applicant's misconduct was due to his underlying severe psychiatric conditions and TBI. (2) The Board voted to change the applicant's reason for discharge to Secretarial Authority with accompanying SPD code JFF. (3) The RE code will not change, as the current code is consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the regulation. 10. BOARD ACTION DIRECTED: a. Issue a New DD-214: Yes b. Change Characterization to: Honorable c. Change Reason / SPD Code to: Secretarial Authority / JFF d. Change RE Code to: No change e.
