AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE  NllMBER

FD-2005-00346	

GENERAL: 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 the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE:

The records indicated the applicant received two Career Development Course (CDC) failures, two Letters of Reprimand, three Records of Individual Counseling and three Memorandums for Record for misconduct.
The applicant failed his CDC's on two separate occasions with a required minimum score of 65 and applicant scored a 52 and 61.  The primary basis for his discharge was minor disciplinary infractions.  The applicant received two Letters of Reprimand for being derelict in performance of duties and failure to go to appointed place of duty.  He also received Records oflndividual Counseling for being derelict in the performance of his duties on two separate occasions and disobeying a direct order of his superiors.  He further received three Memorandums for Record for failure to maintain facial hair in accordance with AFI 36-2903 and derelict in the performance of duties.  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 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 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.
