AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISlONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2005-00376 

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 available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. 

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge is denied. 

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

ISSUE:  Applicant received a General  discharge for Pattern  of Misconduct - Conduct Prejudicial to Good 
Order and Discipline 

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was based on one isolated incident and the reason 
for the discharge no longer exists.  The records indicated the applicant received an Article  15, three Letters 
of Reprimand, one Letter of Admonishment, two Records of Individual Counseling and one Memorandum 
for Record for misconduct to include failure to go, failure to follow numerous standard operating procedures, 
and numerous instances of tardiness,.  The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the 
applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior.  The Board found applicant's  issues to be 
without merit and concluded the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all 
military members and 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.
