CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE | yp2992-0158
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.
The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board 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 the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and
after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any.
Issues. Applicant was discharged for minor disciplinary infractions. He had at least one verbal counseling,
five Letters of Counseling, an Article 15, a vacation of suspended punishment, and an Unfavorable
Information File. His misconduct included three instances of failure to go, three instances of disrespect to
his supervisors, unruly conduct resulting in damage to government property, assault against another airman,
fist fighting with a different airman, and threatening a noncommissioned officer. At the time of the
discharge, member consulted counsel and submitted a statement in his own behalf requesting probation and
rehabilitation, and submitted five character references. The commander’s letter recommending discharge
noted that member’s “violent nature is not compatible with the Air Force” and that he had “a lack of respect
for authority and was unwilling to follow directions of noncommissioned officers in his chain of
command.” Member had seven incidents in a 9-month period, thus clearly establishing a pattern. The
Board noted that member was the same age as other airmen who adhere to the standards when his
misconduct occurred, and he knew right from wrong. He was counseled repeatedly in an effort to help him
correct his deficiencies and had many opportunities to improve his behavior. He failed to respond to those
rehabilitative efforts. He was mature and responsible for his actions, and therefore was held accountable for
them. No inequity or impropriety was found in this discharge in the course of the records review.
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.
