AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE

GENERAL:   The applicant  appeals  for upgrade  of discharge  to honorable  and 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  and  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:  Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct--Minor Disciplinary  Infractions

Applicant contends he was singled out, bullied and harassed by his military training leader (MTL) because he was aircrew.  Applicant states characterization hinders him from seeking employment and that he desires to enlist in the National Guard or Reserves.  The records indicate member enlisted in Nov 04 as an Aircraft Loadmaster Helper for four-years.  Applicant received an Article 15 and five Letters of Reprimand for misconduct to include disclosing testing material to a fellow student, failing to obey lawful general regulation (violated Phase I by--1 ), not wearing appropriate off duty uniform (three times), breaking curfew,      breaking tobacco policy, not carrying AETC IMT 341, failure to use proper reporting statement, having possession of personal electronic devices which were locked up by MTL; failed room inspection (five times), failure to go, and disrespect to an NCO.  After thorough review of the records, the Board found no inequity or impropriety with the discharge.  The Board concluded that the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members and that through these administrative actions the
applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior.	The Board found the characterization of the discharge received by the applicant 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.
