AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NIJMBER 

FD-2006-00046 

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

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 applicant received a Bad Conduct Discharge, a punitive discharge, as part of his sentence resulting from 
a Special Court-Martial conviction for wrongful use of marijuana.  Under the provisions of Section 1553, 
10 USC, the only basis for a change of a Bad Conduct discharge is clemency. The applicant did not present 
evidence which the DRB could consider to warrant granting clemency. 

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. 

The Discharge Review Board concluded that the applicant's punitive discharge by Special Court-Martial is 
appropriate under the facts and circumstances of this case and there is insufficient basis, as an act of 
clemency, for change of discharge.
