CASE NUMBER

AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD03-0103

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

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 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 six
Letters of Reprimand and four Letters of Counseling for failure to adhere to dress and appearance standards
repeatedly, showing up to class unshaven and in an unkempt uniform, dereliction of duty, failure to go, late
for duty, unsatisfactory academic performance, and failure to follow orders. The Board concluded the
disciplinary infractions were a significant departure from the conduct expected of all military members.
The Board 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.
