GENERAL:   The applicant  appeals for upgrade  of di scharge Lo Honorable.

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

The attached brief contains the availa ble pertinent data on the applicant and the factors lead ing to t he discharge.

FINDINGS:   Upgrade of discharge is denied.

The board finds that neither evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequ ity or impropriety, which would justify a change of discharge

ISSUK  The applicant is not contending that his discharge was ineq uitable.  He would like his discharge upgraded so that he will be eligible for forther consideration in the USPS.  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 the applicant was found guilty by a General Court Martial for wrongfolly using marijuana,  The DRll took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by his performance report.s, nominations for awards, and other information contained in the records  They found the seriousness of the willfol miscond uct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance.
The Board concluded the dmg abuse was a signi ficant depaitu rc from the conduct expected of a ll military members,  The Board found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on w hich to base an upgrade of discharge,

CONCLUSIONS:   The Discharge Review lloard concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substanti ve requ iremenls orthe discharge regulation and was within the discretion of the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process.

Jn view of the foregoing findings the board fiirther concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
