AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD~2006-00151 

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to change the reason and 
authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code. 

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

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and 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: 

The applicant did not receive an administrative discharge.  The applicant received a Bad Conduct Discharge, 
a punitive discharge, as part of his sentence resulting from a Special Court-Martial conviction. Under the 
provisions of Section 1553, 10 USC, the only basis for a change of a Bad Conduct discharge is clemency. 
The applicant presented evidence which the DRB opined did not warrant granting clemency. 

CONCLUSIONS:  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.

(Change Discharge to Honorable, and Change the RE Code, Reason and Authority 

for Discharge) 

Issue 1:  My discharge was inequitable because it was based on one isolated 

incident in 33 months of service with no other adverse action.  I made a huge 
mistake when I was mad and I have paid for it dearly.  While in confinement I 
took action to learn how to channel those feelings in a constructive manor 
(sic).  I feel that I belong in the U.S.A.F and wish to get back in and prove to 
myself that I can overcome adversity and make a better life for myself.  I want 
to serve my country and become a Dentist for the United States Air Force.  I 
feel a huge void in my life now that I have been out of the Air Force.  I also 
feel it is the correct path for me to be on.  Just to add, my actions were not 
of that I am a bad person, I made a mistake.  I have paid for that already, and 
I don't wish to continue to ask "what if?"  Thank you for your time.
