FD-2009-001 81	
GENERAL:   The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable and to change the reenl istment code.

The applicant was offered a personal  appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but decl ined and requests that the review be completed based on the avai lable service record.

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

FINDINGS:  The Board denies the upgrade of the 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 wouJ d justify a change discharge.

ISSUES:

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge.  The record indicates the applicant received two Article 1	a Vacation and a Letter	Reprimand for misconduct   His misconduct included failure to report for duty, making false oflicial statements, failure to go (2x) and failure to remain awake while on duty.  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 impropri ety or ineq uity to warrant an upgrade of the discharge.

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

In view of the foregoi ng findings, the Board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge and determi nes the discharge should remain unchanged.
