Sec. 51.5  Objective of review.



    The objective of the discharge review is to examine the propriety 

and equity of the applicant's discharge and to effect changes if 

necessary. The DRB will utilize its discretion to reach a fair and just 

resolution of the applicant's claim. The standards of review and the 

underlying factors which aid in determining whether the standards are 

met shall be historically consistent with criteria for determining 

honorable service. No factors shall be established which require 

automatic change, or denial of change, in a discharge.
