AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2015-00437	

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

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined and requests that the review be completed based on the available service record.

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

FINDING: The Board denies the change of reason and authority for discharge.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiatesan inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of reason and authority for discharge.

ISSUE: The applicant received an Honorable discharge

The Air Force Discharge Review Board, under its responsibility to examine the propriety and equity of an applicant's discharge, is authorized to change the characterization of service and the reason for discharge if such change is warranted. In reviewing discharges, the Board presumes regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs unless there is substantial credible evidence to rebut the presumption, to include evidence submitted by the applicant. The Board completed a thorough review of the circumstances that led to the discharge and the discharge process to ensure the discharge met the pertinent standards of equity and propriety . The applicant's record of service included two Letters of Reprimand and one Letter of Counseling for fitness assessment  failures (3x).

The applicant contends that his narrative reason for separation does not match the type of separation "Resignation" on his DD Form 214. However, the Board determined that the narrative reason for separation is appropriate. The applicant failed five fitness assessments within a 24 month period. The DRB surmised that due to the fitness failures the narrative was found to be appropriate.

CONCLUSION: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation, 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 and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.
