AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIE\V BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE '.\lUJ\'JBER

FD-2004-00500	

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

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 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: Applicant does not contest his discharge. He states that his wife left and took their two sons with her and he became depressed. The records indicated the applicant recei ved an Article I 5 for assault upon another Air Force member by pointing a loaded firearm at him and for being AWOL. In addition, he received a Letter of Reprimand and two Records of Counseling for missing questions on his CDC course, failure to comply with mandatory aerobics and for unsatisfactory progress in the Weight  Management Program. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities 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.

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.
