AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

('4SE N I  MBER 

FD-200s-00448 

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for a change of reenlistment code and change of reason and authority 
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:  Request for change of reenlistment code and change of reason and authority  for discharge 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 has requested a change of the reenlistment  code and change of the reason and authority for his 
discharge.  He contends that his ability to do his job was not affected by his weight.  The records indicated 
the applicant received  six Letters of Reprimand and a Letter of Counseling for failure to meet the Air Force 
weight standards.  The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample 
opportunities to change his negative behavior.  The Board concluded the reenlistment code and reason and 
authority for the discharge received by the applicant were 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 discharge should not be changed.
