CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD02-0195
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable, change the Reason and
Authority for discharge, and to 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.
ISSUE: Applicant states his discharge was too harsh because he was 2 days late returning from leave. The
record indicates the applicant received an Article 15 for being absent without official leave and writing bad
checks. In addition, he received four Letters of Reprimand for failure to go, writing bad checks, lying and
for being late to work. This is obvious more than just being late returning from leave. The Board
concluded the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members. The
characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate. The Board found
no evidence of any inequity or impropriety on which to base a decision to upgrade the discharge.
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.

MEMORANDUM FOR 43 AW/CC
FROM: 43 AW/JA

SUBJECT: Legal Review: Discharge under Provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208,
Paragraphs 5.49 and $.26.3 (AB eeneeeitacmeee 43 TRANS)
1. BASIS FOR ACTION: Administrative discharge action was initiated on 20 Jun 01 against
AB Ra under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208,

separation with a general discharge. On 20 Jun 01, AB waived his right to a hearing
before an administrative discharge board (see Atch 3 to Squadron Commander’s.

than honorable conditions discharge, if the convening authority determines such characterization
is warranted and directs initiation of a discharge board.

under paragraph 5.49, Minor Disciplinary Infractions are:
