AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00386	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals to change the reason for the discharge.

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 for discharge 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: Applicant requests that the reason for her discharge be changed.  Applicant concludes that she should not be labeled with "Unsatisfactory Performance".  The Board 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 (OJT).  This reason would include individuals who fail to upgrade in a timely manner or as is in her case failed to pass the Career Development Course (CDC) twice.  The Board concluded the reason for the discharge 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 reason for discharge should not be changed.

MEMORANDUM FOR SRAL·----------------------------·---------------_:' 2 MDOS

FROM:  2 MDOS/CC

SUBJECT: Notification Memorandwn-Board Hearing

1.	I am recommending your discharge from the United States Air Force for failure to progress in on-the-job training according to AFPD 36-32, Military Retirements and Separations, and AFI
36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, under the provisions of paragraph 5.26.3.  Copies of the docwnents to be forwarded to the separation authority to support this recommendation are attached.
2.	My reasons for this action are as follows:'
-.     ,···

a.	On 7 Sep 05, you scored 60% on the Career Development  Course end-of-course exam. The minimwn passing score is 65%.  This was your second failure.	'
(
b.	On 24 Jun 05, you scored 57% on the Career Development Course end-of-course exam.
The minimwn passing score is 65%. This was your first failure.

3.	This action could result in your separation with an honorable conditions discharge.  I am recommending that you receive an honorable conditions discharge.  The commander exercising special court-martial jurisdiction  or a higher authority will make the final decision in this matter. Ifyou are discharged, you will be ineligible for reenlistnient in the Air Force and will probably be denied enlistment in any component of the armed forces, and any special pay, bonus, or

6.	
acr 	

Military legal counsel, Capt[	Area Defense Counsel, at Building 4714, Third Floor, Barksdale AFB, DSN 781-8355, has been obtained to assist you.  An appointment has
been scheduled for you to consult him on	3(	2005 at	hours.
Instead of the appointed counsel, you may have another if the lawyer you request is in the active military service and is reasonably available as determined according to AFI 51-201, Administration of Military Justice. In addition to military counsel, you have the right to employ civilian counsel.  The Air Force does not pay expenses incident to the employment of civilian counsel.  Civilian counsel, if employed, must be readily available.

I will send the statements to the discharge authority with the case file to be considered with this recommendation.

11.	Execute the attached acknowledgment and return it to me immediately.
