CASE NtJMNEH 

FD-2006-00100 

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

The applicant was offered a personal appearancc before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) at Andrews Air 
Force Base, Maryland, but failed to appear or notify the Board. 

No exhibits were submitted on thc applicant's  behalf. 

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 rccord  nor  that  provided  by  the  applicant  substantiates  an 
inequity or impropriety that would justify  a clzange of discharge. 

ISSUE: 

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable bccause it should have been characterized as "Honorable" 
versus "General"  for misconduct.  The records indicated the applicant received an Article  15 for driving 
while intoxicated; seven Letters of Reprimand-four 
the Weight Management Program; two Letters of Counseling-both 
for "failure to go";  one Letter of 
Admonishment for failure to progress on the Weight Management Program and one Memorandum for 
Record for financial irresponsibility.  The DRB 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. 

for "failure to go"  and three for failure to progress on 

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.
