AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00219	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals 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: Appeal to change the reason and authority for discharge and change ofreenlistment 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 the reason and authority or reenlistment code.

ISSUE:

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because evidence from a personal web page was unfairly obtained by his flight superintendent and forwarded up his chain of command.  The records confirmed that  an investigating officer was appoi nted to determine the validity of information posted on an internet website. The applicant voluntarily admitted that he had voluntarily placed an advertisement on line which constituted a declaration of his sexual preference.  The Board concluded the misconduct was a significant departure
from conduct expected of all military members.  The reason and authority of the discharge received by the applicant was found 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.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
