AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW HOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2009-00120	

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

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

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

FIN DINGS:  The Hoard denies Lhe upgrade of the discharge.

The Board finds the applicant submitted no issues contesti ng the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review orthe record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUES:

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or i rnpropriety  of his discharge.  The applicant docs submit his desire to have his discharge upgraded  so that he may be eligible for Veteran benefits.   The record indicates the applicant received  two Article  l Ss and a Vacation for consuming alcohol  while underage.
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.

CONCLUSIONS:   The Discharge Review  Board  concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements  of the discharge regulation and was withi n	discretion of the discharge  authority and the applicant provided  full administrati ve due process.

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