AI R FORCE DISCHARGE REVIE\V BOARD DRCISIONAL RATION A LE	

FD02-007 l	

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 to exercise this right

The attached brief contains the avai labl e 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 would 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 received an Article I5 for wrongfull y starting leave out of the local area and signing an official record knowing that is was false. He also received two Letters of Reprimand for sleeping while on duty and failure to install a vehicle l icense plate bracket. In addition, he recei ved a Memorandu m for Record for getting lwo traffic citations and a Letter of Counseling for unsatisfactory duty performance. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative/repetitive behavior. The Board concluded the disciplinary infractions were a significant depa1turc from t he condu<;t expected of all military members. The Board found no evidence of impropriety or inequity i n t his case on which to base an upgrade of discharge.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the di8charge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was wit hi n the discretion of the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrati ve 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.
