AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00345	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to change  the  reason  for discharge and 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 for discharge and change of reenlistment code are denied.

The Board finds the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE:

The applicant submitted no issues and request the review be based on the available service record. The record indicates that the applicant received an Article 15 and two Letters of Reprimand for misconduct. The applicant's Article 15 was for violating a general regulation by wrongfully carrying a knife with a blade greater than 3 inches and dereliction of duty. He was reduced in grade to Airman Basic, forfeited pay, restricted to the limits of Sheppard AFB for 14 days,  performed 7 days of extra duty, and received a reprimand. He was administratively disciplined with Letters of Reprimand for failure to go on three separate occasions, dereliction of duty and lying to a noncommissioned officer. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade. The Board found the characterization, reason for discharge and reenlistment code received by the applicant 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.
