AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00417	

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:

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh and that the justification for his misconduct was not considered when command issued the Article 15 and service characterization.  The record indicates the applicant received two Article l 5s for making false official statements on three separation occasions to two senior noncommissioned  officers regarding taking unauthorized photos in a deployed AOR and failing to report to his place of duty as the time prescribed.  He had additional misconduct and was administratively disciplined with a Letter of Reprimand for failing to report to mandatory physical training session and for making a false official statement.  He was placed on the control roster for continued failure to follow rules/regulations and for making false official statements.  The Board
found no evidence to substantiate any impropriety or inequity.  The Board concluded that characterization of the discharge 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.
