AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NIJMDER

FD-2006-00310	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable, change reason for discharge and change to 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:  Upgrade of discharge, change ofrcason 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 contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh; because at the time of his discharge he was only 18 and just a kid.  He would like to reenlist into the Air Force.  The record indicates the applicant received two AETC 341s (failed room inspection and talking through progress check after verbal warning); five Records of Individual Counseling (failure to attend physical conditioning, violation of dress and appearance, failing to march with squadron and late to class and safety violation--twicc); a Letter of Counseling (using profanity); four Letters of Reprimand (fail ing to attend physical conditioni ng, failing to attend academic enrichment class--twice, and failure to obey a lawful order); four AETC  173s, Student Record of Academic Counseling (failing block progress checks, failed block test and failed certification task); Article  15 (making a false statement with intent to deceive and failing to attend academic enrichment class) and AETC  125A, Student Training Report (removal from training).  After review of the record, the Board concluded the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members. The Board the found the characterization of the discharge, the reason for the discharge and the reenlistment code received by the applicant 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 l egal or equitable basi s for upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge, reason for the discharge and reenlistment code should not be changed.
