AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FDO l -0422	

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 available 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 had
received an Article 15 for failure to report a motorcycle accident and a Vacation action of a suspended non­ judicial punishment for dishonorably faiJing to pay just debts.  In addition, he also received seven Letters of Reprimand, two Records of Individual Counseling, and a Memorandum for Record for reporting for duty in a wrinkled, dirty uniform, shoes unshined, operating a motorcycle without a drivers license, financial irresponsibility, failure to maintain the dormitory room in an orderly manner, being disrespectful to the First Sergeant, dereliction of duty, disorderly conduct and condoning a fight, failure to obey an order and for being disrespectful to an NCO.  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 departure from the conduct expected of all military members.  The Board found no evidence of impropriety or inequity 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.
