AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE
FD-2008-00195
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable and to change the reenlistment
code.
(NPA) The applicant was offered a personal 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 discharge.
FINDINGS: Upgrade of discharge and change of reenlistment code 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:
Issue 1. Applicant contends he was initiaily told that he was being discharged under Force Shaping;
however, he later found out that he was being discharged for misconduct. The applicant was discharged for
Misconduct, Minor Disciplinary Infractions, with a general discharge, under honorable conditions. The
records indicated the applicant received an Article 15, a vacation of nonjudicial punishment, seven Letters of
Reprimand and two Letters of Counseling over a three year period. The misconduct consisted of failure to
obey a lawful order, failure to pay his deferred payment plan/Star Card, failure to go to his appointed place
of duty at the time prescribed, failure to use his government credit card for official purposes and failure to
notify proper officials of a malfunctioning alarm system, as it was his duty to do. The DRB opined that
through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior.
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.
Issue 2. The applicant cited his desire to receive the G.I. Bill benefits as justification for upgrade. 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.
Issue 3. Applicant contends that he made some small mistakes, but that he considers it due to his young age,
immaturity and lack of self-discipline. The DRB recognized the applicant was 22 years of age when the
discharge took place. However, there is no evidence he did not know right from wrong and he was no
younger than other first-term members who properly adhere to the Air Force’s standards of conduct. The
DRB concluded that the characterization of the applicant’s discharge was appropriate due to the misconduct.
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.
