AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2009-00707	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.

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 upgrade of the discharge.
ISSUE:  Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct-Pattern of Misconduct

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was based on an isolated incident.  The record indicates the applicant received two Article 1Ss.  His misconduct included violation of a no contact order (2x).   The DRB recognized the fact that the applicant had served six years total service before the discharge was initiated, but concluded the applicant's misconduct outweighed the positive aspects of his time in the Air Force.   The DRB was pleased to see that the applicant was doing well and has a good job.  However, no inequity or impropriety in his discharge was suggested or found in the course of the hearing.  The Board concluded the misconduct of the applicant appropriately characterized his term of service.

The Board highly recommends that if the applicant can provide additional documented information to substantiate their issue(s), that he should consider exercising their right to make a personal appearance before the Board.  Ifthe applicant chooses to exercise this right, he should be prepared to provide the DRB with factual evidence of the inequity/impropriety and any exemplary post-service accomplishments as well as any contributions to the community.

CONCLUSION: 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 was provided full administrative due process.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
