AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00263	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgra de of discharge to honorable.

The appl icant vvas offered a personal appea rance before the Discha rge Review Board (DRB) but decl ined to exe rcise t his righ t.

The a tta ched brief contains avail able perti nent data on the appl icant and t he factors lead ing to the discharge. FIN DIN GS: Upgrade of discha rge is denied.
The Board fi nds the applicant submitted no issues contesti ng the equity or propriet y of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record , the Board was u nable to ident ify any that wou ld just ify a change of d ischa rge.

ISSU E:

A ppl ica n t rece ived a General Discharge for M iscond uct - Civ ilian Conviction. The records ind icated the appl i cant received a Lette r of Repri mand for engaging in domestic abuse against his wife, specifically
assa ul t i ng and comm u nicati ng threa ts to her. For t hese act ions, appl ican t was convicted in a Civilia n Court o f Assa ult on a Fema le and Comm unicating Threats and received 60 days in jail.  The Board concluded the m iscond uct was a significant departure from cond uct expected of all military mem bers and found the seriousness of the willful miscond uct offset an y posi tive aspects of the appl ican t's dul y performa nce. The characteri zat ion of the discharge received by the appl icant was found to be appropri ate.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discha rge Review Boa rd concludes t hat the discharge  was  consistent  wi t h the proced u ral and substantive req uirements of the discharge regula tion and was within the d iscret ion of the d ischarge aut hori t y and t hat the applica n t was provided full administrative due process.

I n view of l he foregoi ng find ings the Boa rd furthe r concl udes tha t there exists no legal or equ itable basis for u pgrade of discharge, thus the appl icant 's discha rge should not be changed.
