CASE NUMBER 

FD-2I)Us-00306 

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

The applicant was offered a personal appcarance 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 lcading 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  iin 
inequity or impropriety that would justify  a change of discharge. 

ISSUE:  Applicant contends  discharge was inequitable because he could not  pass his Carcer Development 
Course (CDC).  The records indicated the applicant received four Lettcrs of Reprimand for misconduct. The 
misconduct  included failure to go on two separate occasions, lying, disobeying an order, dereliction of duty, 
reporting  to co~nmander with unpolished  boots and  facial hair,  and  a positive test  for the prescription  drug 
Adderal.  The applicant did  not have a prescription for this d n ~ g  at the time of drug testing. The records also 
showed that the applicant failed his end-of course exam for his CDCs twice. The DRB opined that through 
these  administrative  actions,  the  applicant  had  ample  opportunities  to  change  his  negative  bchavior.  The 
Board reviewed and discussed the applicants CDC testing scores and comments madc by his instructors. The 
characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate. 

CONCLUSIONS:  The  Discharge  Review  Board  concludes  that  the  discharge  was  consistent  with  the 
procedural  and  substantive  requirements  of  the  discharge regulation  imd  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.

(Change Discharge to Honorable) 

I s s u e   1:  I feel that a general discharge is unacceptable for me.  I 
couldn't pass my career development courses, and was discharged from the 
military.  I did not fail on purpose, and do not feel I should have the rest of 
my life with a derogatory discharge.  I plan to live a very successful life, and 
knowing I have a general discharge does not sit on my concience  (sic) very well. 
I would greatly appreciate the upgrade to honorable discharge so I may continue 
to lead the successful life that lies ahead of me.
