AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00264	

GENERAL:   The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable, to change the reenlistment code and to change the reason and authority.

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, change of reenlistment code, and to change the reason and authority 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 discharge.

ISSUE:

The applicant did not submit any issues but did submit that since his discharge he has attended community college and maintained a position working at Newport News Shipbuilders.  The Board reviewed the records; however, no inequity or impropriety in his discharge was suggested or found in the course of the hearing.
The record indicates that the applicant received four Records of Individual Counseling; a Letter of Counseling; three Letters of Reprimand and an Article 15 for misconduct.  The misconduct included being late for duty (five times), failure to meet military standards (unshaven twice), failure to obey a lawful order, leaving his line badge unattended, speeding on base (twice) and an Article 128 for Assault.  The Board concluded 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 concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
