AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2004-00178	

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

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (ORB) 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 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.

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 one Article 15, five Letters of Reprimand, one Letter of Counseling, three Records of Individual Counseling, and two traffic tickets. The misconduct included failure to go, breaking restriction, unauthorized absence from duty, failure to obey, unsecured dorm room, inspection failure, unsecured computer, accessing pornographic sites on a government computer, failure to attend dorm meeting, failure to meet  minimum  standards  in  behavior, attitude and job performance, failure to follow instructions, failure to report appointments, failure to use chain of command, not parking in a designated parking space and speeding.  The ORB 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 of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
