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

FD-2005-00018	

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.

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 two Article  l 5s for incidents of failure to go, making false official statements, and consuming alcoholic beverages while under the legal drinking age of 21. In addition, he received three Letters of Reprimand and three Records of Individual Counseling for various acts of misconduct involving being late for work and lack of good judgment. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had an1ple opportunities to change his  negati ve 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.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
