AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2003-00361	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable and to change the reenlistment code.

The applicant appeared with counsel before the Discharge Review Board at Randolph AFB, Texas on 3 December 2003.

T,he following additional exhibits were presented:
Exhbt #5, Character Letter, 2 December 2003, D' r..=.   .   ·11::••. .
Exh1b1t #6, Character/Letter, 28 November 2003,·t•••11	••
The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge and change ofreenlistment code are denied.
The Board finds the 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.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety 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 and the evidence presented by the applicant at his discharge review board personal appearance. The Board reviewed the entire record and the applicant's presentation and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge.  The records indicated the applicant received a general discharge for a pattern of misconduct-<:onduct prejudicial to good order and discipline. Between on or about 12 December 2001 and on or about 20 October 2002 the applicant had 9 instances of misconduct. His commander and supervisors responded to the misconduct with a variety of rehabilitative and disciplinary tools including 5 letters of reprimand, one record of individual counseling, and three actions under Article 15, UCMJ, (two nonjudicial punishment actions and one vacation of a suspended nonjudicial punishment).

The DRB opined that through these administrative and nonjudicial actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his repetitive, 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 requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the discretion of the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process.
