AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2006-00408 

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  12 June 2007. 

The following additional exhibits were submitted at the hearing: 

Exhibit #5: Applicant's Contentions 
Exhibit #6: Recent VA Medical Documents 
Exhibit #7: Electrical JATC of Southern Nevada Apprentice Acceptance Letter 
Exhibit #8: Pulte Homes Letter (proving home ownership) 
Exhibit #9: LES (proving contributed to MGIB) 
Exhibit #lo:  DD 214 
Exhibit #11:  2 Character Reference Letters 

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: 

Issue 1.  Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.  The records indicated the 
applicant received an Article  15 for failing to go to his appointed place of duty and nine Letters of 
Reprimand for a variety of misconduct, to include: numerous failures to go, failure to obey a lawful order, 
failure to report in a timely manner, and making a false official statement.  In addition, the applicant received 
five Letters of Counseling for receiving a speeding ticket, interrupting his supervisor's meeting, financial 
irresponsibility, failure to go, and reporting to class out of uniform.  Finally, he received one Record of 
Individual Counseling for failure to properly sign out a government vehicle.  The DRB opined that through 
all of these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior. 
The Board concluded the applicant's  misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all 
military members.  The Board found the characterization of the discharge, reason for discharge and 
reenlistment code received by the applicant was found to be appropriate. 

Issue 2.  Applicant contends his family issues (child sick, fiance cheating on him, quarrels into the night) 
were known by his chain of command, but not appropriately acknowledged or taken into consideration. 
Although the DRB was sympathetic to the member's family situation, the Board found no direct 
correlation~causal relationship between the member's  stresses at home and his on-going misconduct on the 
job, (e.g., financial irresponsibility, on-going failures to go, speeding ticket, etc.).  They concluded that the 
characterization, reason for discharge and reenlistment code received by the applicant was found to be 
appropriate. 

Issue 3.  Applicant opines that his psychological  problems (potential diagnosis of ADIHD, stress, post- 
military Service diagnosis of Passive Aggressiveness) were not appropriately acknowledged by his chain of 

command.  After reviewing all the medical documents and interviewing the member, the board 
acknowledged that the member had a lot of psychologically related issues as a result of problems associated 
with sleep, socialization, stress related to work and home, financial problems, relationships, stuttering and 
his health.  Despite this, the board was unable to find an impropriety or inequity in the member's discharge 
based on the extensive/on-going nature of the member's  misconduct and the lack of an "unfitting" 
psychological disorder or correlation/causal relationship  that could help mitigate his departure from 
acceptable military standards.  The Board concluded the characterization, reason for discharge and 
reenlistment code was appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case. 

Issue 4.  Applicant asks the Board to consider upgrading his characterization of discharge, reason for 
discharge and reenlistment code based on his post-Service activities.  The DRB was pleased to see that the 
applicant was doing well and has a good job.  However, the board could find no inequity or impropriety in 
the documents provided or during the course of the hearing to change his discharge characterization, his 
reason for discharge or reenlistment code. 

Issue 5.  The applicant cited his desire to reenlist and receive G.I. Bill benefits as justification  for upgrade. 
The DRB noted that although the member would like to have his discharge characterization, reason for 
discharge and reenlistment code changed so that he could reenlist into the Air Force Reserve, the board 
found no extenuating circumstances, impropriety or inequity that could justify "rewriting history."  In 
addition, the board also made note that when the applicant initially applied for his G,I. Bill benefits, he 
signed a statement that he understood he must receive an Honorable discharge to receive future educational 
entitlements.  The Board was sympathetic to the impact the loss of these benefits was having on the 
applicant, but 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  discharge,  reason  and  authority  for  discharge  and  reenlistment  code  should  not  be 
changed.

3.  For the Respondent:  The respondent is a 21-year old airman with 2 years and 5 months of active 
military service,  He has received one enlisted performance report with an overall rating of 2 
(referral).  He is entitled to wear the AF Outstanding Unit Award (10Lc) and the AF Training 
Ribbon.  His test scores are:  Admin-32, Elect-76, Gen-66, Mech-89.  The respondent consulted 
with military legal counsel and submitted a statement for your consideration.  The respondent 
requests to be retained or have his service be characterized as honorable. 

4.  Errors and Irregularities:  There are no errors or irregularities prejudicial to the substantive rights 
of the respondent.  This discharge is legally sufficient.  This legal review is contingent upon the 
respondent being given a physical exam and being found qualified for worldwide duty. 

5.  Authority:  AFI 36-3208 regulates the administrative discharge of airmen and provides the 
following guidance relevant to this file: 

*  4 

a.  The file has been prepared in substantial compliance with AFI 36-3208 and is legally 

sufficient. 

b.  A member is subject to discharge for minor disciplinary infractions such as a failure to 

comply with nonpunitive regulations or committing minor offenses under the UCMJ.  Infractions of 
this type normally result, as a rule, in informal or formal counseling, LORs, or Article 15 
nonjudicial punishments. 

c.  The service of a member discharged for misconduct may be characterized as honorable only if 

the member's record has been so meritorious any other characterization would be clearly 
inappropriate.  The respondent's misconduct is clearly evident in his military record.  His repeated 
disregard for military standards and the disciplinary actions taken against him make an honorable 
service characterization inappropriate. 

d.  A general characterization is warranted when the negative aspects of an airman's conduct or 

performance outweigh other positive aspects of the airman's military record.  The respondent's 
actions and his disregard of military standards substantially outweigh any positive aspect$ of his 
military service record.  Due to the respondent's apparent disregard for military standards and 
requirements, a general discharge under paragraph 5.49 is warranted and appropriate in this 
particular case. 

e.  Service may be characterized as UOTHC only if the respondent is given an opportunity for a 

hearing by an administrative discharge board.  A UOTHC discharge may be appropriate when 
separation is based on a pattern of behavior that constitutes a significant departure fiom the conduct 
expected of an airman.  The respondent's infractions are prejudicial to good order and discipline, 

but taking in consideration the respondent's youth and inability to adapt to military life, the 
misconduct is not of such a nature that a UOTHC characterization would necessarily follow. 

" 

5 

f.  The commander has not recommended P&R  The respondent's repeated misconduct shows a 

disregard for military standards and an inability or unwillingness to respond to prior efforts at 
rehabilitation.  For these reasons, the respondent is a poor candidate for P&R. 

6.  Analysis: 

, - - - - - - 
------- 

a.  Arnn! 

!has committed more than enough offenses to form the legal basis for discharge 

I - - - - - -  

under minor disciplinary infractions.  Arnn: 
characterization, without P&R.  While the respondent could receive a UOTHC discharge for minor 
disciplinary infractions, these minor disciplinary idractions are not so egregious as to require a 
UOTHC discharge.  The respondent's misconduct, disregard of military standards, and substandard 
duty performance substantially outweigh any positive aspects of his military service record and 
merit a general discharge. 

! should be discharged with a general service 

L-----rn 

b.  The respondent has been counseled and reprimanded numerous times, and punished under 

Article 15, UCMJ, all with negative results.  The respondent has been given numerous chances to to 
correct his behavior, yet he continues to disregard Air Force standards,  Supervisors and section 
chiefs have already spent more than enough time attempting to train, rehabilitate, and assist 
~&'--"-i . - - - - - - to make the transition to military life.  No further opportunities should be given at this 
point.  His repeated misconduct and failure to respond to disciplinary action by his unit make him a 
poor candidate for P&R. 

7.  Recommendation: Approve the respondent's discharge from the United States Air Force with a 
general service characterization, without P&R. 

I concur.
