AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00355	

GENERAL:   The applicant 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 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 Article 15's, three Letters of Reprimand (LORs), a Letter of Counseling (LOC), and one Record of Individual Counseling (RIC) for misconduct.  His first Article 15 was for being derelict in the performance of duties for failing to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages while under the age of 21.  He was also cited for using a hatchet and knife to destroy government property.  The second Article 15 was for being derelict in the performance of duties for negligently providing alcoholic beverage to persons under the age of 21.  The three LORs were for violation of base housing policy by
failing to have a letter on file designating someone to care for quarters and pets, failure to attend a Social Actions class and the third for sexual harassment by making deliberate and repeated unwanted comments to coworkers.  His LOC was for failure to attend a scheduled newcomers briefing and the RIC was for being late to work.  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.
