AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONAI.E	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00325	

GENERAi : The appli cant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.

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 is 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: The Board finds that  the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after  a thorough review of the record, the board was able to  identify none. The records indicated the applicant received  an Article 15, seven Letters of Reprimand, one Letter of Counseling, and an Air Force Fonn 286A, Pennanent Decertification from the Air Force Personnel Reliabili ty Program, for misconduct. The misconduct included leaving his post without authority, failure to obey a lawful order, civil arrest for speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, dereliction of duty, late for duty, and failure to go. The DRB opined that through these administrative 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 characteri zation 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 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
