AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NIIMBER 

FD-2006-00218 

- 

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgride of discharge to General and change reason for discharge to 
failure to adapt. 

The applicant was offered a pcrsonal  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 dischargc. 

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discl~argc is dcnicd. 

The Board finds that neither evidencc of rccord nor that provided by the applicant providcs a sufticicnt basis 
in clemency for a change of discharge. 

ISSUE: 

The applicant's  issues are listed in the attached brief. 

The applicant did not receive an adnlinistrativc dischargc, thus his coiltelltion of inequity is not applicable. 
The applicant rcceived 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 dischargc is clcrncncy.  The applicant did not present any evidence which the DRB 
opined that would warrant granting clemency. 

CONCLUSIONS:  The  Discharge  Review  Board  concluded  that  thc  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 clemcncy, for chailge of discharge.
