Am FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW  BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2002-0382	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to change the reason and authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code.

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

The attached brief coptains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS: Upgrade of Discharge and change of reason and authority for discharge are denied. A change of reenlistment code is also denied.

The Board finds that neither evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: Applicant does not contest the discharge. He simply states that he was having some personal problems at the time. The record indicates the applicant committed thirteen instances of misconduct, for which he received multiple Letters of Reprimand. However, if the applicant can provide additional documented information to substantiate an issue, the applicant should consider exercising his right to make a personal appearance before the Board. If he should choose to exercise this right to a personal appearance hearing, the applicant should be prepared to provide the DRB with factual evidence of the inequity, or impropriety, and any exemplary post-service accomplishments as well as any contributions to the community.

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 full administrative due process. Therefore, the applicant's characterization and reason for discharge remains unchanged.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
