AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00253	

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 substanti ates an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of reason and authority or a change of reenlistment code.

ISSUE: Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated the applicant  received  an  Honorable  discharge  for  Unsatisfactory  Performance.  He  failed  three  technical trai ni ng written tests and was eliminated from the course. The applicant had personal problems that he did not disclose to the instructors until he was eliminated from the course. The Board declined to change the reason and authority for discharge noting that there were no inequities or improprieties that would justify these changes.

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 foregoi ng 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.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
