AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00386	

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 - Serious Offense (Primary) and Mental Health Disorders That Interfere with performance of Duty (Secondary)

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.  He states that his discharge did not take into account the good things he did while in the service. The record indicated the applicant received  three Letters of Reprimand, one Letter of Admonishment, one Letter of Counseling, and one Record of Individual Counseling for misconduct.   This misconduct included failed to complete assigned duties, took unauthorized comp day, failed to go to duty on time (3x), hired prostitutes, engaged in sexual intercourse and allowed a prostitute, her son and the child's father to reside in home in exchange for sexual intercourse, and intentionally mislead civilian law enforcement authorities.  The DRB took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by his performance reports, letters of recommendation and other accomplishments.  They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance.   The Board concluded the discharge was appropriate for the reasons which  were the basis for this case.

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.
