AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.
CASE NUMBER
m-2003-00175
The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board ( D M ) 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 impropfiety that would justify a change of discharge.
ISSUE:
The applicant contends that he should not be penalized indefinitely for mistakes he made when young. The
DRB recognized the applicant was 20 years of age when the discharge took place. The records indicate
applicant received three Article 15s, four Letters of Reprimand, three Letters of Counseling, and two
Records of Individual Counseling. His misconduct included loitering on post, failure to go on numerous
occasions, missed appointments, late for work and failure to follow orders, failed dorm inspections,
dereliction of duty, assault, driving while disqualified, speeding, and a civil arrest. There is no evidence he
was immature or did not know right from wrong. The Board opined the applicant was older than the vast
majority of first-term members who properly adhere to the Air Force's standards of conduct. The DRB was
pleased to see that the applicant was doing well and has a good job. However, no inequity or impropriety in
his discharge was suggested or found in the course of the hearing. The Board concluded the misconduct of
the applicant appropriately characterized hls term of service.
CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements o f t he d ischarge regulation and w as within the discretion o f t he
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 s k l d not be changed.
