AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00263	

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 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  appl icant  substantiates  an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE:

The applicant contends that his discharge was inequitable and unjust because the infonnation used was false and damaging to his career.  He states the information he provided was not considered and his integrity questioned.  The record indicates that the applicant received three Letters of Counsel ing for failure to attend a scheduled training appointment and late for duty (twice); two Letters of Reprimand for failing a room
inspection and failing to obey a lawful order; and an Article 15 for intent to deceive and maki ng false official statements to two noncommissioned officers.  The Board reviewed the records and found no evidence that substantiate the applicant's i nequity issue.  He did not appeal his Article 15 nor did he submit rebuttals to
any of his administrative actions.  The Board opined that through these administrative actions the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior; therefore, the Board concludes the characterization of the discharge 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 concl udes that there ex ists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
