AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2005-003,9 

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

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. 

FINDINGS:  The Board grants the requested relief. 

ISSUE: 

Issues.  The applicant submitted no issues and requested that the review be completed based on the available 
service record.  The applicant was discharged with a general discharge for minor disciplinary infractions. 
Applicant had received an Article  1 5, one Letter of Reprimand, and two Letters of Counseling for 
misconduct.  The Article 15 was for drunk and disorderly conduct.  He was reduced in grade to airman first 
class.  The Letter of Reprimand was for being late for duty, and the two Letters of Counseling for missing 
guard mount and involvement in a mutual affray.  After a thorough and complete consideration of the 
information contained in the records, the DRB concluded there was sufficient mitigation to substantiate 
upgrading the discharge.  Specifically, the Board found that the characterization was too harsh.  Although 
the DRB did not condone the misconduct of the applicant, an honorable discharge deemed appropriate and 
equitable. 

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. 

However,  in  view  of  the  foregoing  findings,  the  Board  further  concludes  that  the  overall  quality  of 
applicant's  service is more accurately reflected by an Honorable discharge.
