AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE

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: Applicant received a General discharge for Pattern of Misconduct--Conduct Prejudicial to Good Order and Discipline and Condition that Interferes with Military Service--Mental Disorder

Applicant did not submit any issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge, but did submit that the characterization of his discharge has prevented him from obtaining federal and contracting jobs. He would like his discharge upgraded to have access to better job opportunities. The records indicate that the applicant received an Article 15 with a vacation, seven Letters of Reprimand, a Letter of Counseling and a Memorandum for Record for misconduct to include disobeying a lawful order, dereliction of duty, disrespect to a superior commissioned officer, failure to obey and order or regulation, failure to meet standards of duty performance and training, failure to go, and failure to maintain standards. In addition, the records show that the applicant had demonstrated a pattern of maladjustment throughout his military service and despite intervention had not acquired the substantial skills to deal with work stressors and lacked the motivation for self-improvement; future prognosis for adjustment to military standards of behavior was considered poor. After review of the records the board was not able to determine any mitigating correlation between the applicant's conduct and his medical condition; no inequity or impropriety was suggested or found in the course of reviewing the records. The Board concluded that the characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was 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.
