CASE NUMBER

AJR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD2001-00116

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable.

The applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), without counsel, at Scott
AFB, IL on June 3, 2003. The following additional exhibits were submitted at the hearing:

Exhibit 5: Applicant’s contentions.
Exhibit 6: Master of Science in Health Services Administration Certificate

Exhibit 7: Doctor of Pharmacy Certificate

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.
FINDINGS: Upgrade of discharge to Honorable is denied.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record or that provided by the applicant substantiates an
impropriety or inequity that would justify upgrade of the discharge.

ISSUES: The applicant was discharged with a General Discharge for Serious or Recurring Misconduct.
Applicant received 18 Memorandums for Record, 3 Records of Individual Counseling, and 1 Letter of
Counseling for bad judgment and bad conduct, improper wear of his uniform (four times), misconduct,
conduct unbecoming an officer, disrespect to a superior officer (three times), dereliction to duty (seven
times), failure to go, sexual harassment, and he was relieved from his supervisor responsibilities. The
applicant states that his discharge did not take into account the good things he did while in the service. The
DRB took note of the applicant’s duty performance as documented by his performance reports and other
information contained in the records. They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any
positive aspects of the applicant’s duty performance. The Board concluded the discharge was appropriate
for the reasons that were the basis for this case. It should be noted that the applicant, when asked by the
Board President if he reviewed the examiner’s brief and had an opportunity to carefully examine it and his
records, he stated that he did not have enough time to go through his records. The Board President stopped
the proceedings and asked the applicant if he wanted to reschedule the hearing and informed the applicant
that he had two months notice of this Board and approximately four hours prior to coming into the Board
today (3 Jun 03). The applicant stated that he was ready to proceed. Also, at the end of the hearing, the
Board President asked the applicant: “Do you feel that you have had a full and fair opportunity to prepare
and present your case to this Board today?” The applicant replied “definitely yes!” The DRB concluded
that the characterization of the applicant’s discharge was appropriate due to the misconduct.

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.

(Change Discharge to Honorable)

Issue 1: As you can see from the above documents, my service performance
record while a member of the Army National Guard, was exemplory. (DOC #2).
After two weeks of Officer Basic Training, I was commissioned USAF. Granted I
was green but I did follow the rules as noted in DOC #1. I honored my country

& opportunity to serve in the Air Force.

Issue 2: As you can see from DOC #3 I state my case. My career
opportunities have been limited. This is evident even though I have gained
valuable experience both while in the military and the civilian sector. I
hold advanced University degrees.

Issue 3: I wish to pursue an upgrade in regards to my present discharge.
I believe a review of my current discharge status is in order. Currently, I
am in good standing with my profession, community, and church. In addition, I
hold a B.S. in Pharmacy, M.S. in Health Services Administration, and a Doctor
Of Pharmacy. Furthermore, we shoulde be cognizant of the fact that the
military and the civilian sector function under different standards, rules,
and regulations. It should be self evident that politics can play a
significant role in ones military career. In conclusion, the discharge I
received from the Air Force can and has affected my career in the civilian
sector. JI wish my USAF discharge to be upgraded to an Honorable Discharge.
Thank you.
