AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00307	

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 record indicates the applicant received one Article 15, three Letters of Reprimand, and a Record of Individual Counseling. His misconduct included underage on consumption, unlawfully entered another airman's dorm room, civilian court appearance for lewdness, failed to go to duty on time (3x), and failed to go to duty properly shaven on several occasions.  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.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
