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

The applicant was offered a personal appcarance before thc Discharge Review Board  (DRB) but declincd to 
exercise this right. 

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and thc factors Icading to the dischargc. 

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge is denied. 

The  Board  finds  that  neither  the  cvidence  of  record  nor  that  provided  by  the  applicant  substantiates  an 
inequity or impropriety that would justify  a change of discharge. 

ISSUE:  Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because  it was too harsh.  'I'he  records indicated the 
applicant  received  three  Lettcrs  of Reprimand,  two  Unfavorable  Information  files  and  was  placed  on  the 
Co~ltrol Roster for misuse of his government travel card and for contributing to the delinqueiicy of minors by 
allowing them  to  use his rcsidence  for illcgal  drug use.  'l'he  DRB opined  that through  these administrative 
actions, the  applicant had  ample opportunities  to  changc his  negative  behavior.  The Board  concluded  the 
nlisconduct was a significant depariure from conduct expected of all military  mcrnbers.  The characterization 
of the discharge received  by the applicant was Sound to be appropriate.  The DRB was plcased  to see that thc 
applicant  was  doing  well  and  has  a  good job.  However,  no  incquity  or  impropriety  in  his  discharge was 
suggested  or  found  in  the  course  of the  hearing.  The  Board  concluded  the  inisconduct  of the  applicant 
appropriately characterized his tcrm of service. 

CONCLUSIONS:  The  Discharge  Revicw  Board  concludes  that  the  discharge  was  consistent  wilh  lhc 
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 Hoard further concludes that there exists no legal or cquitablc basis for 
upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.

48TH FIGHTER WING (USAFE) 

23 June 1995 

FROM:  48 CRSICC 

SUBJECT:  Notification Memorandum 

1.  I  am  recommending  your  discharge  from  the  United  States  Air  Force  for  Misconduct--Minor 
Disciplinary Infractions. The authority for this action is AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.49. 
If my  recommendation  is approved, your  service will  be  characterized as honorable  or  general.  I am 
recommending that your service be characterized as general. 

.  . 

2. My reasons for this action are: 

a.  On 26 May  1995, you  received  a  LOR for ffaud against the  government, in that, you failed to 
accurately  report  that  you  did  at  times  share  your  residence  with  mother  military  member,  thus 
decreasing your  Overseas IIousing Allowance (OHA),  and claiming to pay  all utilities  yourself,  whiIe 
receiving partial financial assistance for the electric bill from your military roomate.  This LOR dated 26 
May 1995, was added to your existing Unfavorable Information File (XIIF),  dated 30 May 1995. 

b.  On  18 May  1995, you received a LOR for being derelict in your responsibilities, in that, several 
teenagers  were  found to have  been using iIIegal drugs in  your residence at  6 The Cedars, Lakenheath 
Village.  This LOR, dated  18 May  1995, was added to your UlT and placed you on the Control Roster, 
dated 22 May 1995. 

c.  On 9 March 1995, you received a LOR for being dereIict in the performance of your duties, in that, 
you misused your government issued American Express Card and inappropriately withdrew over $2,700 
in cash advances.  This LOR, dated 9 March 1995, established a UIF, dated 13 March 1995. 

Copies of the documents to be forwarded to the separation authority in support of this recommendation 
are attached.  The commander exercising SPCM jurisdiction  or  a higher authority will  decide whether 
you will be discharged or retained in the Air Force and, if you are discharged, how your service will be 
characterized.  If you are discharged, you will be ineligible for reenlistment in the Air Force. 

3.  You have the right to consult counsel.  Military legal counsel has been obtained to assist you.  I have 
at  building  976,  ext  3608,  on  23 June 
made  an  appointmetlt for you  to  consul- 
1995,0930 hours.  You inay consult civilian counsel at your own expense. 

4.  You  have  the  right  to  submit  statements  in  your  own  behalf.  Any  statements  you  want  the 
separation authority to  consider must reach me by 28 June 1995, unless you request and receive an 
extension for good cause shown.  I will send them to the separation authority. 

5.  If you fail to consult counsel or to submit statements in your own behalf, your failure will constitute a 
waiver of your right to do so. 

6.  You've  already completed your medical examination, on 7 June 1995. 

7.  Any personal information you furnish in rebuttal is covered by the Privacy Act Statement of 1974.  A 
copy of AFI  36-3208  is available for your use at the Unit  Orderly  Room  or the Area Defense  Counsel 
Office.
