AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE

CASE NUl\1BER

FD-2004-00478

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for a change in the reason and authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (ORB) but declined to exercise this right.

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

FINDINGS: The Board grants partial relief. The reason for discharge is changed to Secretarial Authority. The RE Code will not be changed.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by applicant substantiates an inequity that would justify a change of discharge. However, based upon the record and evidence provided by applicant, the Board finds the applicant's reason and authority for discharge improper.

ISSUE:  Applicant contends discharge was improper because of the circumstances surrounding her training, or lack of training.  The records indicated the applicant received an Honorable discharge for unsatisfactory performance, mainly for failing her end of course exam two times.  The record clearly indicates that the applicant was not properly trained as evidenced by letters from her supervisors and commanders who verify her statements.  Because of this, the Board opined that the reason for discharge be changed to Secretarial Authority.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was not consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and that the applicant was not provided full administrative due process.

In view of the foregoing findings, the Board further concludes that the reason for the discharge is more accuratel y described as Secretarial Authority under the provisions of Title J O, USC 1553.

Attachment: Exami ner's Brief
