AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2003-001 81	

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 available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. FINDINGS: Upgrade of Discharge is denied.
The Board finds tlfe applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any 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 two Article l 5s, four Letters of Reprimand, and six Records of Individual Counseling. His misconduct included failure to pay debt, dereliction of duty, financial irresponsibility, failure to maintain dorm room, late for work and failing to answer a six-ring standby, failure to complete Career Development Course, failure to follow proper procedures, and displaying pornographic images on a government computer. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative 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 r equirements o f t he d ischarge r egulation a nd w as w ithin t he d iscretion o f t he 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.
