CASE NUMBER

AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE | ¢p9902-0168

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 that neither the evidence of record or that provided by applicant substantiates an inequity
or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

Issues. Applicant received an Under Other Than Honorable Conditions (UOTHC) discharge pursuant to his
request to be discharged in lieu of trial by court martial, for dereliction of duty, false swearing, and carnal
knowledge. Member had a previous Letter of Reprimand for an unprofessional relationship with a
dependent female under the age of 18, and an Article 15 for failing to refrain from having unescorted
female minors in his dormitory room. Member had been well forewarned the restrictions against having
such relationships with young dependent females, yet persisted, resulting in the court martial charges. The
Board concluded member’s misconduct was an extremely significant departure from conduct expected of
all military members, and member was well aware of the Air Force’s policy in this area. The Board further
notes that applicant voluntarily submitted his request for discharge in lieu of trial by court martial, thus not
attempting to establish his innocence, and in doing so acknowledged his characterization of service could be
deemed under other than honorable conditions; in accordance with discharge regulations, airmen discharged
under these circumstances usually do have their service characterized as UOTHC. The Board found no
wrongful action by the Air Force, and finds the discharge proper and without basis for upgrade.

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.
