CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.
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 is denied.
The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an
inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.
Issues. Applicant was discharged for misconduct, discreditable involvement with military or civil
authorities. He had an Article 15 for damaging government property, three Letters of Counseling for
writing multiple bad checks to the base exchange, and was apprehended for assaulting another military
member. According to the legal review, the only discharge document currently in the file, the commander
elected to process member for an immediate discharge as a result of the assault, rather than give him
another Article 15. The legal review also indicated that member consulted counsel and submitted a
statement in his own behalf at the time of the discharge. Member had one Airman Performance Report
rated an overall “7.” Member’s discharge file and medical records were unavailable to the Board for
review, therefore the Board was unable to determine the facts and circumstances of the incidents of
misconduct, or to ascertain if there was other misconduct on member’s part, or additional bases for the
discharge. Lacking documented evidence from the applicant to the contrary, the Board relies on the
presumption of regularity and finds the discharge proper and without basis for an upgrade. No inequity or
impropriety could be found in this discharge in the course of the records review.
If the applicant can provide additional specific documented information about his discharge, and
documented evidence to substantiate an issue, he should consider exercising his right to a personal
appearance hearing, and be prepared to present the Board with evidence of an inequity or impropriety, as
well as any exemplary post-service accomplishments and contributions to the community.
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 Discharge to Honorable)
Issue 1: I am currently a GS-12 employed by the US Army as the Network LAR
and am scheduled to deploy in support of the current conflict. I am proud to
serve my country now, just as I was proud serve my country then as a member of
the United States Air Force.
Nevertheless, I do regret some of the choices and decisions that I made during
my tenure with the Air Force. I would, however, like to say that these
incidents occurred after a very critical time in my life, and was not a direct
reflection of my dedication to the service of my country. And if I had to go in
the Air Force once again to serve my country, I would proudly rise to the
challenge.
Since then, I've gotten a little older, a little wiser and made some different
choices and decisions concerning my life. Currently, I am the husband to my
wife of eleven years and the proud father of four children.
Please understand that this is not an attempt to make excuses for what took
place back then. I take full responsibility for my actions, but I believe the
punishment given was more severe than the crime committed; thus the reason for
this appeal. Thank you for your time and consideration.
