AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD03-0093	

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 an Article 15 for wrongfully concealing a power supply for a video game system and for wrongfully soliciting another airman to wrongfully conceal a power supply video game system.  He also received three Letters of Reprimand for financial in-esponsibility and two Records of Individual Counseling for failure to comply with the mobility checklist and for being late for roll call.  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.
