AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2003-00296	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable and to change the reenlistment code.

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS: The Board grants partial relief. The discharge is upgraded to Honorable and the Reason for Discharge is changed to Unsatisfactory Performance. The RE Code will be changed to reflect the Reason for discharge, which is Unsatisfactory Performance due to twice failing his CDCs.

ISSUE: Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated the applicant received a General Discharge for Misconduct and Unsatisfactory Performance. The misconduct was for receiving two Letters of Reprimand and three Letters of Counseling, all but one revolving around the applicant's failure to pass his CDCs.

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

However, in view of the foregoing findings, the Board further concludes that the overall quality of applicant's service is more accurately reflected by an Honorable discharge and the reason for the discharge is more accurately described as Unsatisfactory Performance. The applicant's Separation Program Designator and accompanying RE Code should be changed to reflect an Honorable discharge for Unsatisfactory Performance.
