AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD2003-00288 

GENERAL:  The  applicant  appeals  for  upgrade  of  discharge  to  honorable,  to  change  the  reason  and 
authority for discharge, and to change his reenlistment code. 

The  applicant  was  offered  a  personal  appearance  before  the  Discharge  Review  Board  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,  change  of  reason  and  authority  for  the  discharge,  and  change  of 
reenlistment code are denied. 

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by applicant substantiates an inequity 
or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge. 

Issues.  Applicant  was  discharged  for  minor  disciplinary  infractions.  He  had  two  Articles  15,  and  a 
vacation  of  suspended  punishment.  His  misconduct  included  two  incidents  of  underage  drinking,  and 
failing  to  obey  a  lawful  regulation.  At  the  time  of  the  discharge, member  waived  his  right  to  consult 
counsel  and  submit  statements in his own  behalf.  The Board  noted  member  was  the  same age as other 
airmen who had  adhered  to the standards when  his misconduct  occurred,  and he knew right from wrong. 
He was counseled in an effort to help him correct his deficiencies and had several opportunities to improve 
his behavior.  He failed to respond to those rehabilitative  efforts.  He was responsible  for his actions, and 
therefore held accountable for them.  No inequity or impropriety was found in this discharge in the course 
of the records review. 

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.
