AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2009-00097	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.

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

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

FINDING:  The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge.

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:

Issue 1.  Applicant submitted no	regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant does express a desire to have his discharge upgraded  for employment opportunities.   The record indicates the applicant received a Special Court Marital, two Article l 5s, a Vacation and two Letters of Reprimandfor misconduct. His misconduct included failure to pay debt, failure to and being drunk on duty (4x).  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 positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance.  The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity to warrant an upgrade of the discharge.

Issue 2.  The DRB was pleased to see that the applicant was doing well and has completed the rehabilitation program at "The Men's Home".  However, no inequity or impropriety in his discharge was suggested or found in the course of the hearing.  The Board concluded the misconduct of the applicant appropriately characterized his term of service.

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 foll 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 and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.
