AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2005-00311 

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:  The Board  finds that  the  applicant  submitted  no  issues contesting  the  equity  or propriety  of the 
discharge and after thorough review of the record, the board was not able to identify any issues.  The records 
indicated that the applicant received  an Article  15, four Letters of Reprimand, one Letter of Counseling and 
three  Records  of  Individual  Counseling  for  misconduct.  The  misconduct  included  Article  128, Assault; 
failure  to  go,  dereliction  of  duty  and  late  for  duty.  The  Board  opined  that  through  these  administrative 
actions the applicant had ample opportunities to change his behavior.  The Board concluded the misconduct 
was  a  significant departure from conduct expected  from all military  members.  'I'he  characterization of the 
discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate. 

The applicant cited his desire to receive thc G.I. Bill benefits as justification  for upgrade.  The DRB noted 
that when the applicant applied for these benefits, he signed a statement (DD Form 2366, on August 8,2004) 
that he understood he must receive an 1 Ionorable discharge to receive future educational entitlements.  The 
Board was sympathetic to the impact the loss of these bencfits was having on the applicant, but this is not a 
matter of inequity or impropriety which would warrant an upgrade. 

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.
