AlR FORCE DISCHARGE  R EVI EW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CAS3 NUMBER

.FD-2008-00498	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to change  the  reason  and authority for the discharge and to change the reenl istment code.

The appl icant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined and	that the review be completed based on the available service record. The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the	leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS: The Board den ies the upgrade of the discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge and change of reenl istment code.

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.

The record indicates the applicant received the following c01Tective act ion:
1.  One (1) Article 15 for dishonorabl y fai l ing to pay debt (Article 134-11, UCMJ). One (1) Letter of Reprimand for fai l ing to pay debts.
3.   One (1) Letter from Club noting account overdue by 90 days.

ISSUE:

Issue 1. Applicant contends financial inexperience, new marriage and bills not getting paid in his absence. After review of the record, the Board concluded that there was insufficient evidence to evaluate the merits of the applicant's alleged m itigating factors. The Board found the Air Force acted in accordance with established policies and that the discharge was procedurally proper and equitable and no change was warranted.

Issue	Applicant contends post-service financial responsibility, worki ng marriage as evidence of reform. The Board was pleased to see that the applicant was doing well and has a good job.  However, no ineq uity or impropriety in his discharge was	or found in the course of the hearing.  The Board concl uded the discharge was 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 the appl icant provided full administrative due process.

In view of the foregoing findings, the Board further concludes that there	no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.

Attachment: Exam iner's Brief
