AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVl-EW BOARD llECISIONAL RATlONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2009-00152	

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

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.

FINDINGS:  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.

ISSUES:

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge.  He expressed a desire to have his discharge upgraded so that he would be able to get a job.  The record indicates the applicant received two Article l Ss, a Vacation, three Letters of Reprimand, and a Letter of Counseling for misconduct. His misconduct included violating a no-contact order, committing adultery, having his face shaved in a goatee, aiding another airman to commit an offense, consuming alcohol in the presence of a minor, failure to report for duty on-time, and wrongfully using a government computer.  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 wmTant an upgrade of the discharge.

CONCJ.,USTONS:  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 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.
