AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2004-00129	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.

The applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), without counsel, at Travis AFB via video-teleconference with Andrews AFB MD on 21 October  2004.  The  following  additional exhibits were submitted at the hearing:

Exhibit 5: 19 Oct 04, e-mail fro
Exhibit 6:  16 Oct 04, e-mail fro
Exhibit 7:   14 Oct 04, e-mail from

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  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 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 an Article  15 and two Letters of Reprimand, and one Record oflndividual Counseling for misconduct.  The misconduct included drug abuse, failure to maintain recall roster, failure to go, cleaning oil paint from brush in latrine sink. Noncommissioned  officers have special responsibilities by virtue of their rank and play an integral role in maintaining good order discipline. The Board concluded that the applicant's misconduct was a significant departure from the conduct expected of noncommissioned  officers.  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 of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
