AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD~2005-00143 

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 to 
exercise this right. 

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

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge is denied. 

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. 

ISSUE: 

The applicant submitted no issues and requested that the review be completed based on the available service 
record.  The records indicated the applicant received an Article  15 and four Letters of Reprimand for 
misconduct.  The Article 15 was for failure to go at time prescribed to appointed place of duty; wrongfully 
consuming alcohol eight hours before duty; and for being found drunk on duty as a response force leadcr. 
Applicant was punished with a suspended reduction in grade to airman first class, forfeiture of pay and a 
reprimand.  He also received Letters of Reprimand for failure to go, being late for work and failurc to attend 
flight training.  The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample 
opportunities to change his negative behavior.  The Board concluded the nlisconduct was a significant 
departure fkom 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.
