AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NlJMBER

FD-2006-00338	

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

ISSUE:

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.  The record indicates that the applicant received six Letters of Reprimand and a Letter of Counseling for misconduct.  The misconduct included four failures to go, three late for work, three instances of dereliction of duty, illegal parking and a failure to obey a lawful order.  The applicant did not submit any additional documents or statements on his behalf   After review of the record, the Board opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negati ve behavior.  The Board found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance and concluded that the characterization, reason for discharge and reenlistment code were 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, reason for discharge and reenlistment code should not be changed.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
