apecant appeals for upgrade ofdigcharge to Honorable. 

CASE M E R  
FD-01-00040 

-- 

The applicant was offered a personal appearapce before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), but declined 
to exercise this right. 

The attached brief  contains the  available pertinent data' on the applicant and the factors leading to the 

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge is denied. 

The DRB finds that the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, 
&d  after a thorough review of the record, the Board was able to identi@ none.  The records indicated the 
applicant received  two  Article  15s for misconduct.  The  misconduct  included  repeatedly  engaging  in 
sexually-oriented conversations in the workplace, creating an intimidating, hostile,  and offensive work 
environment;  and  wrongfully  using  a  government  provided  e-mail  that  visually  depicted  Popeye  (a 
cartoon character)  engaging  in  sexual relations  with  another cartoon character.  The DIU3  opined that 
through  these  administrative  actions,  the  applicant  had  ample  opportunities  to  change  his  negative 
behavior.  The Board concluded the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all 
military  members.  The  characterization of  the  discharge received  by  the  applicant was  found to  be 
appropriate. 

CONCLUSIONS:  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 that 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; thus, the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
