AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASF. NUMBER

FD-2009-0011 1	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to  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 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, 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 unable to identify any that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE:

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge.  The applicant does submit that he believes he deserves a second chance despite his discrepancies so that he may serve his country in the Air National Guard . The record indicates the applicant received two Articl e 1 5s and a Letter of Reprimand for misconduct.  His misconduct included being overdue on Government Travel Card, unpaid debt on loans, overindulgence in liquor which resulted in him being incapacitated to perform duties.  The Board opined that through these administrati ve 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 dischru·ge.

CONCLUSION: The Discharge Review Board concludes that  the  discharge  was  consistent  with  the proced u ral 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 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.
