AIR FORCE UISCHARGE REV IEW BOARD DECISIONA L RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00226	

GENERAL:  The appl icant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) hut 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 ineq ui ty or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: Applicant does not contest his discharge. Ile states that he needs an honorable discharge in order to get a government job. The records indicated the appl icant received two Article l 5s. One for dereliction in the performance of his duties by wrongfully using the unit recall roster for unofficial business. The second one for steal ing various tools from the Air Force. He also received a Vacation action under the UCMJ for wrongfully wearing an earring while in uniform. Finally, he received one Letter of Reprimand, a Letter of Counseling and a Letter of Admonishment for being late for work and for wearing an earring while in uniform. The DR B opined that through these administrati ve 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 appl i cant was found to be appropriate.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requ i rements of the discharge regulation and was withi n the discretion of the discharge authority and that the appl icant 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.
