FD-2005-00267	

GENERAL:   The  applica nt  appeals for  u pgrade  of  discharge  to  honorable.

The applicant was offe red  a personal  appearance before  the Discharge Review Boa rd  (DRB) but declined  to exercise t his right.

The attached  brief conta i ns available pertinent data on the appl ican t and the factors leading to the discharge.

FIN DINGS: Upgrade of discharge is den ied.

The Board finds  the appli cant submi tted no issues contesting the equity or propriet y of the discharge, and after a thorough  review of the record, the Board was u nable to identify any that wou ld justif y a chan ge of d ischarge.

ISSUE:

Appl icant received a General Discharge for Misconduct - M inor Disciplinary Infractions. The records
ind ica ted the appl icant received five Letters of Reprimand, one Letter of Counseling, and two Records of
I nd ividual  Cou nseli ng for miscond uct  to incl ude  disrespect  to an officer, failure to follow orde rs, failu re of dormit ory  room  i nspection,  disrespectful  behavior  to  instructors  and  individ uals  i n  the  chain  of  command, numerous  occasions  of  bei ng late for work, derel iction  of  duty, l ying,  and  disrespect  to  an  NCO.   The DRB opined  that  t h rough  t hese  administrative  actions, t he applicant  had  ample  opportunities  to change  he r
negat ive  behavior.    The  Board  conclu ded  the misconduct  was  a  significant  departu re  from  conduct  expected of  all  mil i ta ry  mem bers.   The characterization  of  the  discharge  received  by  the applicant  was  fou nd  to be appropriate.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board conclu des that  the  discharge  was  consistent  wi t h  the proced ural  and  substan tive  requ irements  of  the  discharge  regu lat ion  and  was  within  the  discretion  of  the d ischarge a uthori ty and that the applicant was provided full admi nistra tive due process.

I n view  of the foregoing find ings the Board further concludes that the re exists no legal or equitable basis for u pgrade of discharge, th us the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
