AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATI ONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2008-00579	

GENERAL:	The  applicant  appeals  for  upgrade  of  discharge  to  honorable,  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  decl ined  and  requests  that  the  review completed based on the available service record .

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

FINDINGS: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and change of reenlistment code.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety that would justify  a change of discharge.

ISSUE: The applicant submitted no issues of inequity or impropriety but states his reenlistment code is unfair and does not fully represent the nature of the separation. He has expressed a desire to have his reenlistment  code upgraded  so that he may be eligible to enl ist with the United  States Army.   The record
indicates that the applicant was discharged with a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge for Unsatisfactory Duty Performance: Failure to Perform Assigned Duties Properly. and was in accordance with A.Fl 36-3208, paragraph	1 .1 , Fai lure to perform assigned duties properly. The applicant was decertified on all aircraft maintenance tasks on 29 August 2007 for failure to use technical data and technical data violations, for which he received two Letters of Reprimand. The Board concluded the  reason  for  the discharge and the reenlistment code received by the applicant was 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 the applicant provided ful Iadministrative due process.

In view of the foregoing find ings, the Board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.
