AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE |
CASE NUMBER FD-2014-00607 |
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for a change to 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 declined and requests that the review be completed based on the available service record.
The attached brief contains available pe1tinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.
FINDING: The Board denies the change of reason and authority for discharge and change of reenlistment code.
ISSUE: The applicant received an Honorable discharge but was separated for Non-Retention on Active Duty
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 regula1ity in the conduct of governmental affairs unless there is substant ial 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 incl uded an AF418 denying applicant's reenlistment. Applicant was placed on the control roster and recei ved two Letters of Reprimand for failing to report to place of duty.
The applicant submitted no issues regard ing the inequi ty or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant does submit that he is unable to reenlist with his cuiTent reenlistment code of 2X (1st Term Ainnan not selected
for reenlistment). Applicant was separated under FYI 3 DOS Rollback program, which was one of several vol untary and non-voluntary programs implemented during FY 13 to help bring overall force numbers to congressionall y mandated levels. The rollback program allowed commanders to consider Airmen for selective reenlistment early. Airmen who met certain criteria or received a specific identifier for program eligibili ty required unit commanders to make the final decision to deny reenlistment or retain a selected Airman by annotations on the Af 418. Applicant was denied reenlistment by his commander due to bei ng placed on the control roster on 29 January, 2013. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity to warrant a change to reason for separation or a change to the reenlistment code.
CONCLUSION: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requ irements 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 find ings, the Board fu1ther concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge and determi nes the discharge should remain unchanged.
