AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00026	

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 appl icant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS:  The Board grants the requested relief.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by applicant substantiates an impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.  However, based upon the record and evidence provided by applicant, the Board finds the appl icant's discharge was too harsh and approved an upgrade of discharge to Honorable.

ISSUE:

After a thorough and complete consideration of the information provided by the applicant and contained in the records, the DRB concluded there was sufficient mitigation to substantiate upgrading the discharge.
Specifically, the Board found that the characterization was too harsh.  Although the DRB did not condone the misconduct of the applicant, an Honorable discharge was deemed appropriate and equitable.

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.

However, in view of the foregoing findings, the Board further concluded that the overall quality of applicant's service is more accurately reflected by an Honorable discharge.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
