CASE  NUJ\JBER

AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE       FD-2004-00107

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

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 thle applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS: Upgrade of discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and change of reenlistment code are denied.

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 dicharge.

I
ISSUE:  Applicant contends discharge was inequitable   ecause he was advised that if he submitted a letter
to resign based on his adjustment, no further adverse acf on would be taken. He also states that the recruiter was dishonest. The records indicated the applicant rece ved two Article l5s. The first one for failure to go on two separate occasions and the second one for failur to go and for being derelict in the performance of his duties by negligently failing to maintain his dormitof-y room within specified standards. In addition, he received two Letters of Reprimand , six Records of Individual Counseling and two Memorandums for Record for various acts of misconduct. There is nothing in th' record to indicate the applicant had an adjustment problem and it was not brought  up when he responded to the Article 15s. Also, the member served two years without saying anything about a dishonest recruitf.r. Therefore, these issues are without merit. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, 1• /1e applicant had ample opportuni ties to change his negative behavior. The Board concluded the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members. The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.	J·
CONCLUSI ONS: The Discharge Review Board co dudes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the dischare regulation and was within the discretion of the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided ff ll 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.
