AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00135	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals to change 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 (DRB) but declined to exercise this right.

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. FINDINGS:  Change of reason and authority for discharge and change of reenlistment code is denied.
The Board finds that neither the evidence  of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: The applicant contends that the reason and authority for discharge and the reenlistment code were too harsh. The records indicated that the applicant received an Article 15 and a Letter of Counseling for misconduct. He also received eight AETC Forms 173 and one Memorandum for Record for unsatisfactory performance. The misconduct was for underage drinking and missing a mandatory formation. The unsatisfactory performance included failure of Appraisal 5, failure of Appraisal 3-1, failure of Block Test V performance test, second failure of Block VI test, third failure of Block VI test, failure of Block Test, failure of Performance Test, and elimination from DOD BMET Course for Academic Deficiency. The Board concluded that the applicant had ample opportunities to pass the required tests and did not meet the required Air Force standards. The reason and authority for the discharge and the reenlistment code received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.

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.

In view of the foregoing findings the Board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
