AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE

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 are 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:

Applicant requests that the reason (unsatisfactory performance) for his discharge be changed and also requested to have his reenlistment code changed to be eligible for reenlistment into the United States Air Force.  The DRB opined that the reason for discharge was Unsatisfactory Performance which is in accordance with AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.26.3, Failure to progress in on-the-job training.  This reason includes individuals who fail to upgrade in a timely manner or, as is in this case, fail to pass the Career Development Course exam twice.  The Board concluded the reason for the discharge received by the applicant was 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.
