          a. Propriety:    The applicant has not submitted an issue of propriety and the ADRB has not otherwise relied upon an issue of propriety to change the discharge.

          b. Equity:       The parenthetical numbers below corresponds to the issue numbers on the DD Form 293, or in Part VI, Paragraph 1, above.

(1) The issue is rejected. The Board examined the applicant's record of service during the period of enlistment under review. There was a full consideration of all faithful and honorable service as well as infractions of discipline, the extent thereof, and the seriousness of the offenses. The applicant's discharge was appropriate because the quality of service determination at the time of discharge was inconsistent with the Army's standards for acceptable personal conduct and performance of duty by military personnel. By misconduct the applicant diminished the quality of service below that meriting a fully honorable discharge. The applicant provided no independent corroborating evidence demonstrating that either the command's action was erroneous or the applicant’s service mitigated the misconduct. The Board, being convinced that the reason for discharge and the characterization of service were both proper and equitable, voted to deny relief.

3. Response to item(s) not addressed as decisional issue(s): ( X ) NA
