AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE		 CASE NUMBER

FD-2015-00164

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable and to change the reenlistment code.

FINDING: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge and change of reenlistment code.

ISSUE: The applicant received a General discharge for Unsatisfactory Participation

The Air Force Discharge Review Board, under its responsibility to examine the propriety and equity of an applicant's discharge, is authorized to change the characterization of service and the reason for discharge if such change is warranted. In reviewing discharges, the Board presumes regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs unless there is substantial credible evidence to rebut the presumption, to include evidence submitted by the applicant. The Board completed a thorough review of the circumstances that led to the discharge and the discharge process to ensure the discharge met the pertinent standards of equity and propriety.

The applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. Upon review of the record, the Board was unable to find any documentation regarding the discharge. Based on the applicant's own admission, it was determined that the member stopped attending drill for financial reasons. The Board concludes that the misconduct was a significant departure from the conduct expected of all military members. The DRB relies on the presumption of regularity and finds the characterization ; reason for discharge and the reenlistment code were appropriate.

CONCLUSION : The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation, 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 and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.
