AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00036	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to General.

The applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) without counsel at Andrews AFB on 02 May 2006.

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 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. Appl icant contends discharge was inequi table because it was based on an isolated incident.  The records indicated the applicant was charged with multiple larcenies using a government credit card totali ng approximately $2500.00 and related false official statements.  The Board took into account the applicant's
l ength of service and documented training regarding the proper use of a government credit card and
concluded the miscond uct 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 2. Applicant states that his discharge did not take into account the good things he accomplished while in the service. The DRB took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by his performance reports, letters ofrecommendation and other accompl ishments. They found the seriousness of the willful miscond uct carried out by the applicant offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance. The Board concluded the discharge was appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case.

Jssue 3.  Applicant contends impropriety regarding allegations made by persons regardi ng abuse of the AF leave system.  The review of the records shows that these allegat ions were not substantiated.  The Board concluded that there was no basis to substantiate any impropriety.

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 find ings 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.
