AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER	

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

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board but declined to exercise this right.
The attached brief contains availablepertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. discharge is denied.
The Board finds the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any.

Issues. Applicant was discharged for minor disciplinary infractions. He received six Air Training Command Form 641 Discrepancy Reports for substandard performance, two Records  of Individual Counseling? a Letter of Reprimand, and two Articles 15. His misconduct included multiple technical training Phase violations, leaving his place of duty for an extended period for unauthorized purposes without permission, underage drinking, violating curfew, and having an unauthorized female guest in his dormitory room. Member also had some academic difficulties including numerous test failures. Member had no Enlisted Performance Reports during his period of service. At the time of the discharge, applicant consulted counsel and waived his right to submit a statement in his own behalf. The Board found the personnel and discharge records indicate member was given adequate opportunity to improve and conform his behavior to Air Force standards and was either unwilling or unable to do so. Therefore?no inequity or impropriety was found in his discharge in the course of the records review.

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 administrativedue 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'sdischarge should not be changed.
