GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, and by inference to change his
reenlistment code.
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 and change of reenlistment code are 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 was discharged for minor disciplinary infractions. He had at least two verbal
counselings, three Letters of Counseling, four Letters of Reprimand, an Article 15, and an Unfavorable
Information File. His misconduct included two instances of failure to pay just debts, writing a non-
sufficient fund check to a civilian creditor, failure to obey a lawful order, dress and appearance violations,
failure to go, substandard duty performance, failure to maintain his on-base quarters in habitable condition,
disrespect to his supervisor, and missing an official duty movement. At the time of the discharge, member
consulted counsel and submitted a statement in his own behalf requesting probation and rehabilitation,
characterizing his misconduct as minor in nature. Applicant now contends he was young and immature and
associated with the wrong crowd, which contributed to his infractions. Applicant further provides an
explanation for most of those infractions, although he does not dispute their occurrence. 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. Although he was given numerous opportunities to improve his behavior, he failed to respond
to those rehabilitative efforts. Contrary to his claim, he was mature enough to be 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.
While the Board commends applicant on this desire his desire to return to military service, and is
sympathetic to the impact a General discharge has on his reenlistment code, this is not a matter of equity or
propriety that warrants an 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.

Nonetheless, in view of the relatively minor nature of the applicant’s misconduct when juxtaposed with his previous excellent duty performance, the Board concluded that the applicant’s then existing and continued mental health issues provided sufficient mitigation to warrant the upgrade of the applicant’s discharge characterization and reason. In this case, misconduct is the primary basis for the recommended discharge. [am recommending your discharge from the United States Air Force for...
