AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD2003-00355	

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 to Honorable is denied.
The Board  finds that  neither  the  evidence  of record  nor that  provided  by  the  applicant  substantiates  an impropriety that would justify upgrade of the discharge.

ISSUE:  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.  The records indicated the applicant received one Article  15, five Letters of Reprimand, and one Record oflndividual Counseling.  The misconduct included drunk and disorderly, failure to go, failure to obey, failed room inspection, failure to comply with rules and procedures, and dereliction of duty. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior. The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.

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, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
