AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE  ·	CASE NUMBER

FD-2009-00031	

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

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined and requests that the review be compl eted based on the available service record.

The attached brief contai ns available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDING: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and change of reenlistment code.

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 unabl e to identify any that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE:

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge.  The record indicates the applicant received an Article 15 and three Letters of Reprimand for miscond uct  His misconduct included underage drinking, driving while under the influence of alcohol, sponsoring a guest on base that was apprehended for drivi ng under the influence, sleeping on duty, misuse of government computer, and fai lure to go.  The Board opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his behavior.  They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any positi ve aspects of the applicant's duty pcrfonnancc.  The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity to warrant an upgrade	the discharge.

CONCLUSION: 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 applicant was provided full administrative due process.

In view of the furcf>u findings, the Board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitabl e basis for upgrade of discharge and determi nes the discharge should remain unchanged.
