AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NllMBER

FD-2005-00363	

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 that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE:

Issue 1.  The applicant cited his desire to reenlist to complete his obligation.  The DRB noted the applicant's desire but concluded that his desire standing alone was not a matter of inequity or impropriety which would warrant an upgrade

Issue 2.  Applicant suggested that his misconduct was a result of his youth, immaturity and irresponsibility. The records indicated the applicant received an Article  15, two Letters of Reprimand, a Letter of Counseling, a Memorandum for Record, and five AAFES letters for mi sconduct.  These administrative actions were as a result of numerous infractions for failing to pay debts, writing bad checks, failure to obey a direct order and making false statements 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.

Issue 3.   The DRB was pleased to see that the applicant was doing well.  However, no inequity or impropriety in his discharge was suggested or found in the course of the hearing.  The Board concluded the misconduct of the applicant appropriately characterized his term of service.

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.
