AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00300	

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 A Pattern of Misconduct - Conduct Prejudicial to Good Order and Discipline

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge.  The applicant does submit that he would like an upgrade in order to better his and his family's life circumstances.	The record indicates the applicant received one Article  15 and three Letters of Reprimand.  His misconduct included arrested by civilian sheriff department for bad checks, delinquent on First USA Bank account, convicted by civilian authorities for issuing checks with insufficient funds and sentenced to 15 days in jail  (suspended for one year), and failed to pay just debt.  The Board opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his behavior.  They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance.   The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity to warrant an upgrade of the discharge.

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.

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.
