CASE NUMBER

AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2005-00237

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 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 impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated the
applicant received an Article 15 for dereliction of duty on two separate occasions. He also received one
Letter of Reprimand, one Letter of Counseling, four Records of Individual Counseling and an Unfavorable
Information File for being late for duty, operating a vehicle without insurance, speeding, and failure to
comply with standards. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample
opportunities to change his negative behavior. The Board concluded the misconduct was a significant
departure from conduct expected of all military members. The characterization of the discharge received by
the applicant was found to be appropriate. 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 his 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.

J made a few personal mistakes during my term, especially in the first year, but I was a good, reliable worker who always obeyed.
orders and gave respect to my superiors. I was surprised at his attitude toward me. I felt as if he was waiting for an opportunity to
burn me. I was probably not the only lower ranking airman in the 63 FS who was "warned" by him. A few weeks later he gave me
an L.O.C. for not keeping my jet clean enough for a contest! I was working 12 hours on the night shift changing engines and other
repairs but I still tried to squeeze in about an hour a night wiping down my jet’s landing gear to keep the dirt and grease off. I was
the assistant crew chief on the jet and I did my best to maintain it and keep it running first, then its appearance came in second.
MSgt@igggifdido't care or believe me. A few months later a small birdstrike unknowingly hits a jet that I inspect for a BPO. No
one sees it, not the pilot, nor anyone else on the flight line that night. I never happened to ever see it with my own eyes and I sign
off the inspection as routine. The next day I hear there was a birdsrike ( which caused no real damage) on the.jet I inspected. No
one else in the whole squadron really made a big deal of it. The other crew chiefs understood that little things like that happened. It
is just a reality. Yet the unreasonable and hot tempered MS gil wanted to kick me out of the Air Force against my wishes.

15. CONTINUATION OF ITEM 8, SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS [if applicable}

16. REMARKS (ff applicable)

Thank you for your time and attention. The Va benefits that I could use would help me greatly with the GI bill and with health
insurance. I humbly ask the board to overturn the decision one grade higher from a general/under honorable conditions to an
honorable one for my sake. I would have stayed in the Air Force and made a career out of it if it were possible for me but fate led
me elsewhere. J don't regret being in the military at all. I would highly recommend it to any young man or woman for many
reasons. I am studying to be a High School History teacher at Marywood University in Scranton. I'm sure that I can have a great
influence on graduates deciding whether or not to join the Armed Forces in the future. I would like to tell them all the positive
aspects of the military. This decision will greatly affect my own opinion and consequentially many others down the road. [hope I
will have a pleasing opinion overall rather than a rejection on this matter, Although I would never put the military in a bad light, an’
upgrade of my discharge status would bring a revolutionary opportunity for me and solidfy my extenuous belief to Aim High for
others.

On the evening of 14 July, I started my preflight inspection of aircraft 90-0755 at
approximately 2000 hours. The jet was all the way out on “Echo Row”, where there are no lights-
available as on the main flightline. The sun was already set over the mountains and the only
lighting that I had to rely on to do my inspection was a flashlight out of my toolbox. Once it gets
dark at night, there are supposed to be light-alls (NF-2’s) out on Echo Row; but on that night, at
the time of my inspection, the A.G.E. driver had not brought them out yet.

I did my PR/BPO inspection with my flashlight and T.O. It took me about 35 minutes to
complete. I felt that I did a thorough inspection of the entire jet and felt confident that it was
‘ready to fly again tomorrow. Two weapons crews’also inspected their systems on the jet that
very night too and obviously felt the same way.

The next day, SSgt @iljgp found a bloodstreak along the right underside of the jet in front of
the ammunition rounds counter. It was very noticeable to him in broad daylight. He found the
rest of the bird stuffed inside the hole of the ammo rounds counter. .

I remember looking up at the rounds counter and looking at the general area of the birdstrike
the night before. Unfortunately, I did not happen to shine the flashlight on the four- inch streak
of blood and notice it. I know if it was earlier in the day or if the jet was on the main flightline,
where much more light is available, I would have seen it easily; or at the very least, someone else
would have seen it. . .

As far as all the other mistakes and bad judgments I’ve displayed in the past, I am truly sorry
and regretful for. I’ve learned from my mistakes and I want to overcome them. But I wasn’t
given an Article 15 because of the many mistakes I’ve done in my career, it’s because of a
birdstrike. This incident i is something that was very unlucky for me and I feel that it could have
happened to any crew chief.

I understand the situation that my supervisors and I are in and that something has to be done.
A pilot’s life being put at risk along with a bad track record constitutes some form of
punishment. Therefore, I accept the Article 15. I will spend more time and attention to detail on
my daily aircraft inspections. I'll show a better attitude and be a better member of the U.S. Air

Force all around. _)_)

27 July, 98

sth EO )
FDZ60S-e8 23

1 am requesting an honorable discharge from the United States Air Force. I served for over 3 years and
accumulated a poor track record. The majority of my L.O.C.’s were received in my first year at the 634
Fighter Squadron. I’ll admit I wasn’t fully adapted and disciplined to working on the flightline back then;
but the biggest reason for the 4 L.O.C.’s concerning tardiness was caused by miscommunication between
myself and flight chiefs and expeditors. In one case, (13 Feb 96) an emergency happened during my lunch
break and I was unable to contact the squadron.

On 4 April 97, while employed at the HazMat Management Center, I received an L.O.R. for not having —
insurance on my P.O.V. At that time, I was experiencing financial problems with unexpected expenses. I
had to sacrifice a few towards car insurance to cover other more important bills.

‘In Jan 98, I returned to my original AFSC as a crew chief and caught up with my 5 skill-level training in
a matter of a few short months. I felt things were turning around and looking much brighter for me. Many
co-workers have told me personally that my attitude and work performance has improved since prior to
working at HazMat for 10 months. I can honestly say I was giving 100% everyday to prove to my fellow
airmen and myself that I was a competent crew chief and a decent airman.

On 5 June 98, I received an L.O.C. for failure to comply with standards. These standards were that of a
SSgt Weathers, who didn’t believe that I cleaned on my jet enough. The appearance of a jet is based merely
on a matter of opinion and speculation of how clean a jet is and should be. My flight chief, MSgt 7
and SSot A Pdian’t believe that I wiped on my jet just about every night and accused me of lying to
them; even though I had witnesses who said I did clean my jet regularly. This L.O.C. is totally biased,
unfair, and in my own opinion, utterly ridiculous. My flight chief, MS¢t gh ow was looking to burn
me at any chance he got. I truly believe he is an unreasonable man who lets his temper get the best of him.

On 6 July 98, I missed a tire that was slightly worn beyond limits on my preflight inspection. MSgt
@HERND as on leave at the time and it was put off as a minor and common mistake by my superiors. The
next day, I was told to be more observant on my inspections and it was left at that. No dereliction of duty or

punishment of any kind was mentioned that day.
On 14 July 98, the birdstrike was discovered by another crew chief that I missed the night before; and I

stress the word, ‘night’. The fact that it was past 2000 and the jet was parked off the main flightline, was
the reason J did not see the small streak of blood. It was simply too dark for me to see something that I
wasn’t even looking for. I had no idea that the jet was hit by a bird; neither did the pilot nor two weapons
crews that inspected the jet that same night. MSgt@lljjllilwas back from leave and jumped all over me for
this incident and the worn tire incident from the week before. He already had his mind set before I even had
a chance to explain my circumstances and situation. He wanted me discharged and there was nothing I
could do about it.

The main reason that I’m asking for an honorable discharge is because of the Montgomery: G.I Bill.
It is very important to me that I will be able to afford to go to college in the near future. | attended Penn
State University, Wilkes-Barre Campus for 1 year prior to my enlistment in the Air Force. I couldn’t

continue studying at Penn State primarily because of costs and expenses. The G.I. Bill was a major
Fo2edS- ee 237

incentive for me to join the Air Force, along with the training, experience, travel, and just the pride of being
part of the military.

I had particularly high ASVAB scores in all four categories ( A-92, E-95, G-92, M-88 ), I was the
Academic Monitor in basic training, I had very good scores throughout tech-school and I finished my

CDC’s in half the allotted time. I know I can succeed in college and open many doors of opportunity for
myself if given a chance. The G.I. Bill gives me that chance. I had only to remain as an enlisted member

until 16 May 99 to complete 4 years of service with an honorable discharge. A general discharge without

the benefit of the G.I. Bill is a disappointment and a heavy damper on my future plans.
I’ve always tried to please everyone that I’ve worked for and I’ve been willing to do anything anyone
asked of me. I’ve made some bad judgments and have had some bad luck in my career but I still respect

the Air Force and the country it defends. I will never regret joining the service and would never put it

down, regardless of an honorable discharge or a general one.
