CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00192
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.
The applicant was scheduled for a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board at Andrews Air
Force Base, Maryland on 23 Jun 2009, but failed to appear or notify the board.
The following additional exhibits were submitted at the hearing:
Exhibit #1: Applicant’s Contentions
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:
Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was based solely on one isolated incident. He
contended that other than the one Article 15 for using his government credit card for unofficial purposes, he
had “no other incidents, no LORs, or Article 15s.” The records indicate the applicant received an Article 15
and one Letter of Reprimand.
The evidence indicates the applicant made numerous unauthorized charges on his government credit prior to
beginning his TDY. The applicant submitted additional evidence to substantiate the inequity of his
discharge, which showed that he claimed reimbursement for gas in the amounts of $455, $629, $291 and
$310 for 30-day periods of time—amounts that are in excess of what he would have been authorized for
official travel. In addition, one of the rental car receipts shows that the applicant not only upgraded his
rental car, charging the government $380, but put 6,747 miles on the rental car between 13 November 2005
and 20 December 2005.
In addition, the applicant received an LOR for test driving a Honda, informing the sales person that he would
return the car at 1730 that evening. He failed to return the car until 2 days later with the sticker removed and
268 additional miles on the odometer.
The Board concluded that the negative aspects of the applicant’s service outweighed the positive
contributions he made in his Air Force career. The characterization of the discharge received by the
applicant was found to be appropriate.
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, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
