CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD02-0257

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of his discharge.

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: The discharge is upgraded to Honorable and the reason for discharge is changed to
Personality Disorder.

ISSUE: The applicant received a General discharge for minor disciplinary infractions. Applicant contends
he was suffering from attention deficit disorder, unknowingly at the time. The record indicates the
applicant received an Article 15 for disobeying a lawful order to wear a pressed uniform. He also received
two Letters of Reprimand for being late for work and failing to fulfill his responsibility to maintain his
dormitory room in a clean and orderly manner. After a thorough and complete consideration of the
information submitted by the applicant, and information contained in the record, the Board concluded there
was sufficient mitigation and extenuation to substantiate a change in the Reason for discharge, but did not
change applicant’s reenlistment code.

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.

However, in view of the foregoing findings, the board further concludes that the overall Reason for
discharge is more accurately reflected as Personality Disorder. The applicant’s discharge should be
upgraded to Honorable and the Reason for discharge should be changed to Personality Disorder.

the 1957th 4 on Group (ARGC) has been reviewed and found legally
sufficient. is being recommended for separation through

_ notification procedures under AFR 39-10, Paragraph 5-46, for misconduct. The
unit recommends a General Discharge without probation and rehabilitation. The
Respondent does not have a board entitlement. The letter of notification,
dated 5 October 1989, reflects a scheduled physical date of 1 November 1989.
That date is incorrect and should read 17 October 1989. The physical will be
attached to the file upon completion.
