AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00124	

GENERAL:  The applicm1t 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 that  neither  the  evidence  of record  nor  that  provided  by  the  applicant  substantiates  an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUES:

Issue 1: The applicant submitted no issues and requested that the review be completed based on the available service record.  The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge.  Applicant states he has matured since his discharge.  He has a fmnily and seeking government employment to better serve his country and support his wife's career.  The Board was sympathetic to the impact of the discharge on the applicant, but this is not a matter of inequity or impropriety which would warrant an upgrade.  The record indicates the applicant received two Article 15s and three Letters of Reprimand for misconduct.  The misconduct included dereliction of duty by falsely filling out a sign in/out log for lunch, signed out for the end day while it was still morning and left the duty location without permission to his residence; disclosed civil arrest for public affray, failure to notify authorities of alleged rape in dormitory, underage drinking, and making a false
statement with intent to deceive the security forces investigator.  The Board concluded the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members and that through the administrative actions given; the applicant has ample opportunities to alter his negative behavior.

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.
