AIR FORCE DTSCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE
CASE NUMRER
FD-2007-00151
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 applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), without counsel, via video
teleconference between Andrews AFB, MD and Robins AFB, GA on 13 Jun 2007. The following witnesses
also testified on the applicant's behalf: her mother, Mrs. MB, and her father, Mr. DB.
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 inlpropriety that would justify a change of discharge.
ISSUES: Applicant received a General discharge for Minor Disciplinary Infractions.
Issue 1. Applicant contends an impropriety in her discharge due to the marginal nature of the infractions on
which it was based. The records indicated the applicant received two Article 15s, two Letters of Reprimand,
and one Record of Individual Counseling for misconduct. The Board concluded that the misconduct,
especially the assault that resulted in the applicant's second Article 15, warranted administrative discharge.
It appeared to the Board that the applicant was given several opportunities to change her behavior and yet
she continued to engage in n~isconduct. This was evident following the applicant's receipt of an LOR in
May 2005 for misusing her government e-mail. She was ordered by her supervisor on 3 1 May 2005 to check
her e-mail only twice each day at specified time and yet she disobeyed this order the very next day by
checking her e-mail without authorization. The Board concluded the discharge, reason for discharge and
reenlistment code was appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case.
Issues 2 and 3. Applicant contends an inipropriety in her discharge in that only two of her four disciplinary
actions were legally sufficient. She states, relying on a memo from her defense counsel at the time of her
discharge, that the 24 May 2005 LOR was not legally sufficient as it was given solely because an LOR that
had been given to her just days before had been removed from the applicant's PIF as it was not legally
sufficient. She also feels that the RIC given on 4 June 2005 was legally insufficient because it did not
comply with AFI 36-2907 in that she was not offered the opportunity to respond, there was no Privacy Act
statement on the form, and it does not state how long the applicant had to respond. Regarding the contention
that the LOR was legally insufficient, the applicant admitted that she committed the misconduct documented
in the LOR. Furthermore, the LOR was served on the applicant within four duty days of the misconduct
taking place. Therefore, the Board could find no connection between the administration of the 24 May 2005
LOR and any previous LORs that may have been withdrawn. Regarding the RIC, while it appears that only
the first page of the RIC was served on the member and that the member may not have been given the
opportunity to respond, even if this were to be considered an oral counseling, as the applicant contends it
should, the applicant again admits that she committed the misconduct in question and discharge action was
initiated shortly thereafter. The Board determined that this error did not constitute prejudicial error, i.e.,
there was not substantial doubt that the discharge would have remained the same if the error had not been
made. Even if this were to be considered an oral counseling due to legal deficiencies, the extent and scope
of the applicant's misconduct makes it clear that discharge action was warranted and that a general service
characterization was appropriate. The characterization, reason for discharge and reenlistment code received
by the applicant was found to be appropriate.
Issue 4. Applicant contends an impropriety in her discharge as her character of service more appropriately
met the definition of "honorable" in AFI 36-3208, rather than "general." More specifically, she states that
her service met the Air Force's standards of acceptable conduct and performance of duty and was so
meritorious that any other characterization was inappropriate. She states that the positive aspects of her
military record outweigh the negative aspects. However, the Board, much like the applicant's chain of
command, determined that this was not the case. The applicant's history of misconduct, especially the
assault, eclipses any positive contributions made by the applicant during her time in the Air Force. Her EPR
ratings consist of a "3" referral report, and two ratings of "4," While the EPRs were generally good, they
certainly don't paint the applicant as a star performer. Therefore, the Board found no impropriety or
inequity in the applicant's discharge characterization, reason for discharge or reenlistment code.
Issue 5. The applicant cites as an impropriety that she was not given probation and rehabilitation (P&R) by
the separation authority and she was not moved to another duty section and given another chance, as
suggested by her defense counsel during discharge processing. During the hearing, the applicant conceded
that P&R is a discretionary act by the commander and was not mandated in her case. Given the applicant's
history of repeated misconduct, even after being given multiple opportunities to correct her behavior, it was
entirely reasonable that the applicant's chain of command did not give her yet another chance or grant her
P&R. The applicant admits that the misconduct was her own fault and does not attempt to claim that she is
innocent of the alleged offenses. While the Board commends the applicant for accepting responsibility for
her misconduct, 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, change the reason and authority for the discharge, or change the reenlistment code,
thus the applicant's characterization, reason and authority for discharge and reenlistment code should not be
changed.

i, respectfdly submit the following personal statement in an effort to apologize for the many
mistakes that I have made during my career in the Air Force. Looking back as a much more mature 23 year old,
I can now see how I could have done so many things differently. In life we are not allowed the luxury of doing
the opportunity to learn fiom it and apply the lessons to our future. This I continue to do both in
it over -just
my personal and professional life.
Unfortunately, I did not foresee the many consequences of my actions, poor judgments and bad decisions. I
could not see how it would all eventually lead to the disappointment that I would cause myself and ultimately
my family. I did not have the maturity needed to carefully evaluate the future cost of my actions by looking at a
situation and doing what was right instead of what I felt was right. At that time, I had not gone through the
many difficult circumstances that allow you to obtain the lessons that one acquires when put in a position to
have to learn from mistakes made. I did not realize the benefits of seeking support from others, having a
positive attitude, making the required changes, and lastly taking the advice of those who care about me and have
been there for me time and time again,
When I joined the Air Force I was 17 years old, and had graduated from high school two months before. Based
on the age requirement in Georgia, I graduated fiom high school one year early. Within ten months of my
enlistment I was stationed at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, married and expecting my first child. I worked
on the flight line loading bombs on F-16 aircrafts and was not able to perform my job duties due to the
pregnancy. I was reassigned to another job. Combined with the added stress of learning a new job, I began to
realize that I was in an abusive relationship as well. My husband (A higher ranking Airman two years my
senior.) began to display actions associated with an inability to manage his anger, by physically assaulting me,
as well as verbally and emotionally abusing me. I brought this situation to the attention of his superiors on base
and was told to call the police if the problem came up again. I ended up calling the police on more than one
occasion over the next year and a half.
After my daughter was born it was hard finding daycare for her because my husband and I were both put on
swing shift because of our flight line jobs. Many times we had to work on weekends or were expected to
participate in base activities. We were both fairly new at parenting as well as to the Phoenix area and often had
problems finding a baby sitter on the weekends when we both had to work or volunteer for events on base. I
tried my best to deal with the many new challenges that I was facing at work and in my personal life, but many
times the stress of it all affected me negatively. There were times when as a result of not knowing how to handle
some of the situations faced, I did not meet some of my obligations and responsibilities. I did what I felt was the
right thing to do when in fact it may not have been. I was facing a very stressful time and many times felt like I
was alone in dealing with it dl. My husband was not very supportive and I ended up handling many aspects of
my daughter's care on my own. In doing what I thought was best, mistakes were made. One weekend, due to a
misunderstanding of procedures and caring for a sick baby, I failed to report for weekend duty and as a result
received a LOR for it.
While in the Air Force I started taking college courses in the evenings in an effort to continue my education
and eventually earn a Bachelor's degree. Although my classload added to my hectic schedule: with work and a
family, it was a challenge I enjoyed. In my college classes I was applying myseIf more than when in high
school. Succeeding in my efforts with my classes enabled me to deal with the stress that I was facing in my
home life and at work. Things were hard for me at times, but I tried my best to keep it all going. ~ u r i n ~
this
period I did all that I could to cope with the increasing difficulties in my marriage as well.
p p p a 7--&LS-/
, Almost two years into our marriage the situation involving my abusive husband was getting worse. When the
physical abuse got so bad that J was going to work with bruises on my face, I was finally able to get help from
the Air Force with the domestic violence situation that I had been dealing with, My husband's behavior which
had led to the abuse he had been inflicting on me was addressed, He was ordered to lehve our apartment for a
few days and to start attending a mandatory Anger Management course. We were both ordered to get marriage
counseling. The counseling sessions did not help because he refused to realize that he had a problem. Even after
being arrested following an abusive incident the physical, verbal, and emotional abuse did not stop. I felt that I
had no other choice but to divorce him. I was 21 years old, working full time, going to school part time, and
raising my young daughter by myself. 7 felt that I had to do what was necessary to make a better life for myself
and my child. Through all these tribulations I pressed on and continued 'to do well at whatever job duties I was
assigned and worked hard on my classes as well, As a result of performing above expectations, I received good
ratings on my yearly EPR's and took advantage of any training opportunities that became available to me.
Although I tried my best to maintain my career, raise my daughter, and continue my education, I was very
emotionally unstable. The stress of what I had been going through for the past year and a half had taken its' toll
on my emotional and mental state. At that time an incident involving my husband (the divorce was still
pending) and his current girlfriend, (also an Airman and who initiated the incident) resulted in an assault and
caused me to receive an Article 15, and lose a stripe. I accepted my punishment and realized my mistake in not
using better judgment, considering the consequences of my actions and letting my emotions get the better of me
during a confrontational situation. I continued to do the best I could in taking care of my many responsibilities
including work, my daughter, and school all the while dealing with the stress of a pending divorce.
A few months after my divorce was final, another'incident involving my ex-husband occurred. This incident
escalated into what could have been a volatile situation based on the initial actions of my ex-husband and the
subsequent actions of my boyfriend who was also an Airman, I tried my best to dissolve the situation and when
it became apparent that I could not, I took myself and my daughter out of a potentially dangerous situation and
left the location. A few weeks later to my surprise, I was issued a LOR because of what had taken place
between my ex-husband and my boyfriend. I decided to appeal the LOR since because I was not at fault for
what had happened. With the help of my area defense counsel, I was successful in getting this LOR appealed
and withdrawn from my files. I felt discouraged and angry about the situation I was facing in having to
continually deal with my ex-husband and felt like I had been deliberately accused by him for an incident that he
initiated. What I was not aware of was that once this wrongful LOR had been issued it led to a decision by my
superiors to start on an administrative discharge against me for misconduct. The discharge proceedings
continued even after the LOR was appealed and taken out of my file. Following that incident, I was still
experiencing a very stressful time at work due to a recent job assignment, continued difficulties in dealing with
my ex-husband, and other personal matters. I used bad judgment in deciding one day to send an email on my
military email account which was not work related and highly inappropriate. This resulted in an LOR which
was later added to the on-going discharge proceedings. Shortly after that LOR was issued I was given notice
that I would be discharged fiom the Air Force. I fought the discharge as best I could in the time that I had to do
so, and my
Captain; -------- irepresented me well and stated why it would not be in the Air Force's best interest for me to be
discharged. This was based on my overall. time in the Air Force, my job performance, and taking into account
the many challenges that I had faced during my time of service. She also stressed that if I was discharged, then
it should be nothing less than an Honorable discharge based on my overall job performance during the four
years that I served. Unfortunately the discharge proceedings went through and a within a few weeks I was given
a General under Honorable Conditions Discharge.
area defense counsel presented a case on my behalf against the discharge proceedings.
, - - - military
- - - - .
Needless to say this devastating blow left me feeling quite disappointed in myself. I realized that I had let
myself, my family, and iny country down. My family has a long tradition of serving in the military. No one had
ever gone through what I had brought upon myself, and for that I felt ashamed and undeserving of any
sympathy from them. Here I had the opportunity to do so much more with my career and instead this was where
all my bad decisions, poor judgment, and immatwity had led me and I had no one to blame but myself.
1
My only choice was to deal with it, learn from it, pick up the pieces of my life, and move on. Duiing a month of
job hunting, I had the time to reflect on my Air Force career and the insight to realize thit I needed to make
some changes in myself, develop a better attitude, grow up, and make better choices both personally and
professionally as a result of all that had happened to me in the past four years.
F V 7 r n I s l
.
Fortunately for me I was able to get a position with a company which has a long tradition of hiring people with
military background. My training, work ethic, and dedication to doing my best at any assigned duty resulted in a
great opportunity with Cintas, a Fortune 500 company. I have been employed with this company since August
2005, shortly after my discharge from the Air Force. As a result of the changes which have manifested from
self-improvement, maturity, the right attitude and lessons learned, I am now proudly able to incorporate the core
values that I learned in the Air Force; integrity, service before self, excellence in all I do. I thoroughly enjoy my
job at Cintas and can see that my attitude, my actions, and my commitment to excelling at what I do will lead to
my success with the company. I have to do what is right and what is required of me in every given situation.
After one year with the company I was promoted to my current position of Service Sales Representative and
was granted a transfer to the Atlanta area. I relocated my family and we are now living close to my parents and
extended family. More than ever I realize the importance of family and I am so appreciative of my family's
continued support in helping me to overcome all that I have been through since leaving home and developing
into the person that I am today. I know that I can now become a better role model for my younger brother.
With my training and experience in the Air Force, I haye matured into a responsible adult and now have the
ability to be a valuable asset to any organization that I am a part of. Not only have I matured but I also realize
the importance of complying with d e s and regulations. I truly feel that I now have what it takes to be a
positive and productive member of the Air Force. I believe, as do the people who wrote letters on my behalf,
that I have tremendous potential and now have what it takes to reach the goals that I set for myself. I am proud
and honored to have been given the opportunity to serve my country. Should that opportunity ever present it self
again, I will proudly be honored to serve in whatever capacity that my skills and abilities are required. I am
extremely grateful to the United States Air Force for giving me a head start on my career at the young age of 17.
In closing, I am truly remorseful for my past actions, bad decisions, use of poor ju'dgrnent, and immaturity. I
continue to work hard so that this period of my life does not characterize me presently or the person I am
evolving into. I ask for your mercy in looking at my entire record as well as what I have done to turn my life
around since my discharge. I am requesting that you give a thorough reconsideration of my General discharge
and change it to Honorable, allowing me to retain all my veteran benefits and to rejoin the Air Force and serve
my country proudly. I can build on the training that I have received, now that I have fully matured into a
responsible adult who works hard, has the right attitude, and takes her responsibilities seriously. I am planning
to enroll in classes at Georgia Perimeter College this fall. Being eligible to receive the G.I. Bill would be a
significant help to me because I do not get tuition reimbursement as a job benefit. Please consider the
information given in this personal statement as well as the other information that have been provided by others
on my behalf before making a final decision regarding my case. Thank you in advance for your time and
consideration.
Sincerely,
