AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD03-0073 

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

The applicant was ofiered 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 the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, 
and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was able to identify none that would justify  a change of 
discharge. 

ISSUE:  The applicant submitted no issues and requested that the review be completed based on the 
available service record.  The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or 
inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge.  The records indicated applicant received 4 
Letters of Reprimand for speeding, illegal parking, being late for formation, driving while intoxicated which 
caused an accident, and for being arrested for disorderly conduct, underage drinking, violation of probation 
and being in arrears with payments.  The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the 
applicant had ample opportunities to change his negativelrepetitive behavior.  The Board concluded the 
disciplinary infractions were a significant departure from the conduct expected of all military members. 
TheBoard found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of 
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.
