AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONA L RATIONALE	l:ASE NLJMBER

FD00-001 67	

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

The applicant was ottered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined to exercise this right.

The attached brief contai ns the avail able pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge is denied.

The board finds that the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was able to identify none that wou ld justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: The applicant submitted no issues and requested that the review be completed based on the available service record.  The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge.  The records indicated applicant recei ved an Article 15 for wrongfully using marijuana.  The Board concluded this disciplinary infraction was a significant departure from the conduct expected of all military members.  The Board found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge.

CONCLUSIONS:  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 that the applicant was provided foll 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, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
