AJR  FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2005-00453 

GENERAL:  The  applicant appeals for upgrade  of  discharge to  honorable  and to  change the reenlistment 
code.  The applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), without counsel, at 
Andrews AFB on 30 Mar 2006.  The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the 
factors leading to the discharge. 

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge and the change of reenlistment  code are 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: 

Issue 1.  Applicant contends that his discharge did not take into account the contributions he accomplished 
while in the service which included two desert deployments in support of Operation Desert Storm--Kuwait 
and Operation Iraqi Freedom and volunteered to be a member in two search & recovery teams.. .hands on 
with finding and recovering remains--was awarded with AFCM for outstanding achievement.  The board 
took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by his performance reports and other 
accomplishments.  The DRB recognized the fact that the applicant had served seven and half years total 
service before the discharge was initiated, but concluded the misconduct was a departure from conduct 
expected of all military members.  The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found 
to be appropriate. 

Issue 2.  Applicant contends that after his DUI incident he struggled with how his long distance separation 
was affecting his seven-year old son as well as some inappropriate actions toward himself and other shift 
leaders regarding responsibilities and duties by the dining facility manager.  He subsequently sought support 
from his unit commander for discharge.  Applicant asserts that the commander used the minor infractions to 
justify the discharge.  The board considered the time period of misconduct but 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.  However, if the applicant can provide additional documented information to 
substantiate the alleged support from his unit commander favoring an honorable discharge and other 
commendable post-service accomplishments, the applicant should consider exercising his right to appeal to 
the AF Board of Military Corrections. 

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 and his reenlistment code should not be changed.

SUBJECT:  Notification Letter-Board Hearing 

1.  I am recommending your discharge fiom the United States Air Force, according to 'MPD  36- 
32, Military Retirements and Separations, and AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of 
Airmen, under the provisions of paragraph 5.50.2, A Pattern of a is conduct, conduct Prejudicial 
to Good Order and Discipline.  Copies of the documents to be forwarded to the separation 
authority to support this recommendation are attached. 

. 

2.  My reason for this action is as follows: 

a.  On or about 1 Oct 02, you informed your First Sergeant that you had failed to pay some 

of your debts.  For this incident, you received a Letter of Counseling (LOC), dated 12 Nov 02 
(Atch 1). 

b.  On or about 9 Mar 04, you failed to go to your appointed place of duty at the time 

prescribed, you M e r  lied about the incident stating you had overslept when you had actually 
made an unauthorized shift split with another airman.  Further, you were derelict in the 
performance of your duties, in that you willfilly failed to uphold your NCO and shift leader 
responsibilities by failing to properly supervise an airman's actions on the serving line.  For these 
incidents, you received a Record of Individual Counseling (RIC), dated 11 Mar 04 (Atch 2). 

c.  On or about 3 1 Jul04, you were cited at or near Fairbanks, Alaska for driving under the 

influence.  You were given a breathalyzer test, which revealed you had a Breath Alcohol Content 
(BrAC) of .156.  For this incident, you were convicted in Alaska State ~ o u k  (Atch 3) and you 
received a Letter of Reprimand (LOR), dated 6 Aug 04, which was placed into an Unfavorable 
Information File (UIF) (Atch 4). 

d.  On or about 25 Aug 04, you were derelict in the performance of your duties, in that you 
willfully failed to uphold your NCO and shift leader responsibilities by sitting around the dining 
hall during a busy time, not making the required 25 meals or fiesh pastries.  You expr&sed a 
negative attitude with your coworkers causing turmoil amongst coworkers.  ~ k h e r ,  you failed to 
perform a proper change over with the oncoming shift leader and failed to report to the Services 
Superintendent as directed.  For these incidents, you received ii RIC, dated 26 Aug 04 (Atch 5).

dated 1 Nov 04, which was placed into a UIF (Atch 6).

3.  This action could result in your separation with an honorable, general, or under other than 
honorable conditions discharge.  I am recommending that your discharge be characterized as 
Under Honorable Conditions (General).  The commander exercising special court-martial 
jurisdiction or a higher authority will make the final decision in this matter.  If you are 
discharged, you will be ineligible for reenlistment in the Air Force and will probably be denied 
enlistment in any component of the armed forces.  Any special pay, bonus, or education 
assistance funds may be subjected to recoupment. 

4.  You have the right to: 

a.  Consult legal counsel. 

b.  Present your case to an administrative discharge board subject to your availability. 

c.  Be represented by legal counsel at a board hearing.  .: 

d.  Submit statements in your own behalf in addition to, or in lieu of, the board hearing. 

e.  Waive the above rights.  You must consult legal counsel before making a decision to 

waive any of your rights. 

5.  You have been scheduled for a medical examination. You must report to the Physical 
Examination Section, 354th Medical Group, Building 3349, at  ogY.(  on  /7&& @$for 
the examination. 

6.  Military legal counsel has been obtained to assist you. An appointment has been scheduled for 
you to consult with the Area Defense Counsel's Office, 2610 Central Ave, on  1 7 /k of 
at 

fD3O. Instead of the appointed counsel, you may have another, if the lawyer you 
request is in h e  active military service and is reasonably available as determined according to 
AFI 51-201, Administration of Militaly Justice.  In addition to military counsel, you have the 
right to employ civilian counsel.  The Air Force does not pay expenses incident to the 
employment of civilian counsel.  Civilian counsel, if employed, must be readily available. 

7.  Confer with your counsel and reply, in writing, within 7 workdays, specifying the rights you 
choose to exercise.  The statement must be signed in the presence of your counsel who also will 
sign it.  If you waive your right to a hearing before an administrative discharge board, you may 
submit written statements in your own behalf.  I will send the statements to the discharge 
authority with the case file to be considered with this recommendation.  If you fail to respond, 
your failure will constitute a waiver of the right to the board hearing. 

8.  Any personal information you furnish in rebuttal is covered by the Privacy Act of 1974.  A 
copy of AFI 36-3208 is available for your use in your Area Defense Counsel's office. 

9.  If you request a board and you fail to appear without good cause, your failure to appear 
constitutes a waiver of your right to be present at the hearing.

completed the period of active duty you agreed to serve, you may be subject to recoupment. 

1 1.  Execute the attached acknowledgment and return it to me immediately.

    Although applicant contends he was punished twice by being discharged after his Article 15, discharge is not punishment. Unfortunately the last year of our lives has been very hard on us since being forced to leave the Air Force. I had not done anything wrong after receiving my one and only Article 15 and I wanted to continue and serve our country.
