CASE NllMBER 

FD-2005-00261 

m 

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. 

ISSUES:  Applicant received a General Discharge for F'raudulcnt Entry Into Military Service. 

ISSUE  1 .   Applicant  contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.  He contends that his 
recruiter allowed hiin to continue with the enlistment process even though he disclosed the fiat that had 
experimented with drugs in his sophomore year.  He states his drug use was experiinental  and a one-time 
occurrence.  In addition, he served honorable and his perforinance outstanding.  A discharge is upgraded 
only if the applicant and the DRR can establish an inequity or impropriety took place at the time of 
discharge.  Unfortunately, the applicant's  discharge processing files were inissing froin the record.  Because 
the files were unavailable to the Board for review, and no evidence to substantiate any inequities or 
improprieties, the Board relies on the presumption  of regularity and finds the discharge proper and without 
basis for upgrade. 

ISSUE 2.  The applicant cited his desire to receive the G.I. Bill benefits as justification  for upgrade.  The 
Board was sympathetic to the iinpact the loss of these benefits was having on the applicant, but this is not a 
matter of inequity or impropriety which would warrant an upgrade. 

CONCLUSIONS:  The  Discharge  Kcview  Board  concludes  that  the  discharge  was  consistent  with  thc 
procedural  and  substantive  requireimcllts 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.
