AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE		 CASE NUMBER

FD-2014-00032

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 and requests that the review be completed based on the available service record.

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

FINDING: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge.

ISSUE: Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct: Minor Disciplinary Infractions

Applicant contends discharge was improper because of the continued actions he was accused of; he feels that he should have received an honorable discharge. The records indicated the applicant received a Vacation of Suspended Nonjudicial Punishment, an Article 15, three Letters of Reprimand, and one Letter of Admonishment. The misconduct included failure to go to duty on time (2x's), failure to go to a mandatory appointment (2x's), failure to qualify on M-4 or M-9, and failed PT assessment. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior. Also, the Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case in which to base an upgrade of discharge. The Board concluded that the negative aspects of the applicant's service outweighed the positive contributions he made in his Air Force career. The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.

CONCLUSION: 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 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 and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
