AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00179	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for 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: Applicants request to 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:

Although not explicitly stated, applicant contends his discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. Applicant has expressed a desire to have the reason and authority and the reenlistment code changed so that he may reenlist into the armed forces.  The records indicated the applicant received an honorable discharge for conditions that interfere with military service - mental disorders/adjustment disorders.  The DRB reviewed documentation available from applicant's record and determined the reason and authority 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 change of the reason and authority or reenlistment code, thus the applicant's discharge  should  not  be changed.
