e	
ISSUE:  The applicant received an Honorable discharge and the Reason was Unsatisfactory Perfo  rnance.
The member states that the record does not take into account the 5 years and 4 months of honorab	and faithful service that he put in and that his discharge was only based on one incident.  The record sl   ws that the applicant received ten Memorandum's for Record and one Letter of Admonishment for disobe  ing a direct order and dereliction of duty twice, failure to comply with instructions, failure to act when s  uadron members broke rank during a retreat ceremony, failure to display officership, command presence ;:  id  failure to perform simple drill and ceremonies, failure to display basic job knowledge, complainec   hat a supervisor's feedback was "total bullshit", failure to make timely and accurate changes for the cha   ge of command event, substandard performance as an officer, lack of interest and involvement with flig operations, and failure to follow work directions.  The DRB opined that through all these adminisl  :.tive actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative/repetitive behavior.  The Bo,  d concluded the disciplinary infractions were a significant departure from the conduct expected of a   military members, especially an officer.  The Board found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this C(    e on which to base a change of reason or authority.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent wit  the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the discretion  f the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process.

In view of the foregoing findings the board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitabli   oasis for change of reason for discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
