AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD2002-0528	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of his discharge from General to Honorable, to change the reason for the discharge, and to change his reenlistment code.  The Board considered his request on September 25, 2003.

The attached brief contains the available pertinent data and factors leading to the applicant's discharge.

FINDINGS: The applicant's request is DENIED.

Issues: The applicant contends that his general discharge was inequitable because he was too immature to understand the ramifications of the conduct that lead to his discharge. The applicant also contends that he has a "need to rejoin the military" and that he has no "feelings of anger or dislike." The record indicates that the applicant was discharged for minor disciplinary infractions after receiving a letter of counseling, eight letters of reprimand, an Article 15, and a vacation of Article 15 punishment within the 12 month period that he was on active duty. After a thorough and complete consideration of the information  submitted by the applicant and the information contained in the record, the Board concluded that the applicant's discharge with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge for misconduct (minor disciplinary infractions) was appropriate and warranted.

CONCLUSIONS:   The Discharge Review Board concludes that the applicant's 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.

In view of the foregoing findings, the Board further concludes that a general (under honorable conditions) discharge accurately reflects the overall quality of the applicant's service.
