AIR FORCE DISCHA RGE R EVJ EW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASF. NUMBER

FD-2005-00310	

GEN ERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable to  change  the  reason  and authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code.

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, 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 inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSU E: Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated the appli cant received an Article 15 and two Letters of Reprimand for misconduct. The misconduct included underage drinking on divers occasions and using tobacco products in the TA-7 restroom. The Board noted that the applicant was a Security Forces Helper i n Technical Training School. The DR B opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior. 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 proced ural 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
