CASE NUMBER

AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE | p59093-90969

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

The applicant’s appeal was heard by the Discharge Revicw Board (DRB) at Scott AFB IL, on June 3, 2003.
The applicant did not appear.

Exhibit 5: Applicant’s contentions.
Exhibit 6: Reference Letter

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.
FINDINGS: The request for upgrade of discharge to Honorable 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 upgrade of the discharge.

ISSUES: The applicant was discharged with a General Discharge for misconduct, or more specifically,
conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline. Member received one Article 15 for dereliction of duty
for failing to remove a nipple ring and a navel ring as required by Air Force regulation. He received a
second Article 15 for dereliction of duty for drinking alcohol underage. He also received two letters of
reprimand for dereliction of duty (when he failed to respond to repeated pages from his work section) and
for failure to go and dereliction of duty (when he failed to report for formation, wore earrings on base, and
violated his curfew). He received seven records of individual counseling (RIC) for a variety of offenses.
He was late to work on three occasions. Three of the RICs relate to violations of dress and appearance
standards. The other RIC relates to his failure to obey an order to study his CDC material. Other
misconduct in which the applicant engaged is documented with memorandums for record. Those
documents indicate the applicant was derelict in the performance of his duty when he failed to carry out a
tasking assigned to him by a supervisor, engaged in financial irresponsibility, violated dress and appearance
standards by wearing a navel and nipple ring after he had been told not to by a supervisor, and for
displaying poor military bearing and a bad attitude. With regard to the latter, the applicant was counseled
for stating, in a profane way, that he did not care about his job in the Air Force, would do only what he was
told to do, and that he would do only the minimum amount necessary. In his submission to the DRB, the
applicant states that he has matured significantly since that time and that he would like the opportunity to
pursue his new goals unburdened by a less than fully honorable discharge.

The DRB concluded that the characterization of the applicant’s discharge was appropriate given the nature
and extent of the applicant’s misconduct. He repeatedly demonstrated utter disregard for the high standards
expected of members of the Air Force dedicated to the service of this country. Through his misconduct, he
practically scoffed at the requirements of Air Force service and the men and women who adhere to those
standards every day. A review of the record discloses that the command’s response to the applicant’s
misconduct was appropriate, equitable, and properly administered.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation, was within the discretion of the
discharge authority, and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process. Having found no
inequity or impropriety, the request for relief is denied.
