AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00070	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, change the reason and authority for the discharge, and change the reenl istment code.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined to exercise this right.

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

FINDINGS: Upgrade of discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and change  of reenlistment code are denied.

The Board finds that neither the evidence  of record  nor  that  provided  by  the applicant  substantiates  an ineq uity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: Applicant does not contest his discharge. He states that "it was one night" where I didn't think about the consequences of my actions and made very irresponsible decisions. The records indicated the applicant received two Articl e l 5s and a Vacati on action under the UCMJ for drinking under age, and breaking Phase I by leaving Sheppard on two separate occasions. He also received one Letter of Reprimand and two Letters of Counseling for failure to shave, failure to go, failure to follow a direct order and failure to remain within the limits of Sheppard AFB while in Phase J. These incidents occurred over a four month period and not just one night. The DRB 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 requ irements 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.
