CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE | p93.9176
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 neither evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity
or impropriety, which would justify a change of discharge.
ISSUES: Applicant contends his discharge was inequitable because it was based on one isolated incident in
50 months of service with no other adverse actions. This issue is without merit. The applicant received an
Article 15 for failure to go on two separate occasions and for making a false official statement. He then had
a Vacation action under the UCMJ for failure to go. The Board found no evidence of any inequity or
impropriety on which to base a decision to upgrade the discharge. If he can provide additional documented
information to substantiate an issue, the applicant should consider exercising his right to make a personal
appearance before the Board. If he should choose to exercise this right to a personal appearance hearing,
the applicant should be prepared to provide the DRB with factual evidence of the inequity and any
exemplary post-service accomplishments as well as any 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.
