AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUl\1BER

FD-2004-00322	

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

The  applicant  appeared  before  the  Discharge  Review  Board  (DRB)  at  Washington  D.C.,  via  video.. teleconference from Randolph AFB, Texas.

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge is denied.

The applicant  submitted  no issues contesting the equity  or propriety  of the discharge.   Despite  numerous efforts by the DRB during the applicant's personal appearance to have him articulate issues of impropriety or inequity in his administrative discharge, he was unable to do so.  In fact, he admitted during questioning by" the DRB that there were no inequities or improprieties  in the handling  of his involuntary  separation from active duty.  Therefore, the DRB finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety which would justify a change of discharge.

CONCLUSIONS: The DRB concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation, was within the discretion of the discharge authorit)l, and that the applicant was provided substantial administrative due process.

In view of the  foregoing  findings, the DRB further concludes  there exists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge.  Thus, the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
