AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAi, RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

l·D02-0230	

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 availabl 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 ofimpropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge The records indicated applicant received four Letters of Reprimand for failure to go; fai lure to repo11personnel involved with drugs; driving without proper vehicle registration and insurance; and drinking while underage. Also, he received five Records of Tndividual Counseling for failure to attend a mandatory briefing; sleeping while on duty; failure to meet training study standards; failure to perform assigned duties; and bei ng late for work. The DRB opined that through these administrati ve actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative/repetitive behavior. The Board concluded the disciplinary in fractions were a significant departure from the conduct expected of all military members. The Board found no evidence of impropriety or ineq uity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge.

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.

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.
