AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00732	

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 contends discharge was inequitable because it was based on a one time incident.  The records indicated the applicant received one Article 15 and two Letters of Reprimand.  His misconduct included committed fraud by displaying license plate for Chevy on a Ford, lied to a NCO, failed to produce valid license plate for the Ford, arrested by civilian law enforcement for DUI, drunk on duty and failed to refrain from drinking alcohol while on standby.  The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior.  The Board concluded that the negative aspects of the applicant's service outweighed the positive contributions he made in his Air Force career.
The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.

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.
