AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW  BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00269	

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

ISSUE:

Issue 1. Appl icant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.  The record indicates the applicant received an Article  15 for being derelict in the performance of his duties by failing to prepare for the ECAMP inspection by not marking chemical bottles which were found in the cleaning locker, having unmarked chemicals at the soldering station, and not fixing the six discrepancies in the continuity folder; and failure to tum in a propane bottle to HAZMART.  He was punished with a suspended reduction in grade to Airman and 30 days of extra duty.  His promotion was vacated for failing to obey a lawful order by not cleaning the floors and latrines as instructed.  The record shows that the applicant was discharged for minor disciplinary infractions, but was missing the discharge documentation.   Lacking this evidence, the Board relies on the presumption of regularity and finds 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 did while in the service. The Board took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by his performance reports, letters ofrecommendation  and other accomplishments.   They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance.  The Board concluded that the  characterization of the discharge was appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case.

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.

The Board recommends that if the applicant can provide additional documented information  to substantiate his issue, he should consider exercising his right to make a personal appearance before the Board. If he should choose to exercise his right to a personal appearance hearing, the applicant should be prepared to provide any exemplary post-service accomplishments as well as any contributions to the community.
