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

FD-2005-00015	

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.

ISSUE: 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. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15 for dereliction of duty by distributing alcoholic beverages to other underage  individuals, for drinking under age, found drunk on duty and for making a false official statement. In addition, he received  four  Letters  of  Reprimand,  and  one Record of Individual Counseling for various acts of misconduct. The ORB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior. The Board concluded the miscond uct 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 \Vas 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.
