AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASF. NlJMBF.R

FD-2006-00455	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, change reason for discharge, and change of reenlistment code.

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge is granted.
Change ofreason and change ofrecnl istment code are denied.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by applicant substantiates an impropriety that would justify a change of discharge. However, based upon  the  record  and  evidence provided by applicant, the Board finds the applicant's characterization  for discharge inequitable.

ISSUE:

Applicant contends her discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.  Applicant believes her command could have waived or given her another opportunity considering the sensitive situation she was in
(an abusive relationship and an unborn child).  The applicant received a General discharge for Unsatisfactory Performance.  The records indicated that the applicant fai led her end of course exam twice.  After a thorough review of the record, the Board found the characterization of the discharge harsh based on the lack of evidence that her command had provided the required remedial training needed for the applicant's success in taking her end of course exam.  The Board grants relief for upgrade of the characterization of the discharge
to Honorable.  However, the Board did not find any sufficient mitigation to substantiate changing the reason for discharge or the reenlistment code.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was withi n the discretion of the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process.

In view of the foregoing findings, the Board believes that the relief for the characterization of the discharge
should be granted.  The applicant's characteri zation should be changed to Honorable under the provisions of Title 10, use 1553.
