CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD02-0215
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable, change the Reason and
Authority for discharge and change the RE Code.
The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined to
exercise this right.
The attached brief contains the available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the
discharge.
FINDINGS: Upgrade of discharge is denied.
The board finds that neither evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity
or impropriety, which would justify a change of discharge.
The applicant's issues are listed in the attached brief.
ISSUE: The applicant contends his discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh and that he should
have been discharged for unsatisfactory progress or that he should have been discharged in June 2000. The
record shows that the applicant received an Article 15 for failure to go. In addition, he also received three
Letters of Reprimand for failure to go, and failure to meet dress and appearance standards, five Letters of
Individual Counseling for failure to go (three times), failure to maintain room in inspection order, a
Memorandum For Record for failure to meet dress and appearance standards, and two Reports of Course
Examination for failure to progress in On-The-Job training. If the applicant can provide additional
documented information to substantiate an issue, the applicant should consider exercising his right to make
a personal appearance before the Board. If he should choose to exercise this right to a personal appearance
hearing, the applicant should be prepared to provide the DRB with factual evidence of the inequity and any
exemplary post-service accomplishments as well an any contributions to the community. The board
concluded the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members. The
Board found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge
and that the characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.
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.

(Change Reason and Authority for Discharge and RE Code)
Issue: I feel the reason for my discharge should be changed from
misconduct, to failure to progress. The last documentation of misconduct was
recorded in Jun 00. I was given an Article 15, for failure to report to
appointments. I was discharged in Dec 01, after I failed my CDC's for a second
time. Now if I was being discharged for misconduct it should have been in Jun
00, when I was (sic) received my Article 15. I would also like my reentry code
to be changed from 2B to another that would allow me to join another branch of
the military such as; Army, Marines, or Navy. I was given a general (Under
Honorable Conditions) discharge and do not believe that under this discharge I
(sic) should not have been for misconduct. Thank you for reviewing this.
