AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2009-00266	

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.

FINDING:  The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge.

ISSUE:	Applicant  received   an  Under  Other  Than  Honorable  Conditions  (UOTHC)  discharge  for misconduct -A Pattern of Misconduct

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.  The records indicated the applicant received two Article 15s, one Letter of Reprimand and one Record of Individual Counseling.  His misconduct included four months delinquent on Delayed Payment Program account, possession of alcohol while underage, violated military dress code, stole six compact discs from AAFES, conspired with another airman to commit larceny, attempted to assault another airman with a vehicle, and failed to pay just debt.
The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior. The Board concluded the applicant's misconduct was a significant departure from conquct expected of all military members.  The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.

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 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.
