CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00198
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to change the reason for
discharge and to change the reenlistment code.
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, change of reason for discharge and change the reenlistment code.
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 submitted that he is ready to move on and put his past behind him. The record indicates the
applicant received three Records of Individual Counseling, a Letter of Reprimand and two Article 15s witha
Vacation action. The misconduct included failing to complete leave authorization form, violation of dress
and appearance, reporting late for duty, failure to follow directions, failure to pay debt (two occasions) and
wrongful use of marijuana. The Board opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had
ample opportunities to change his behavior. They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any
positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance. The Board concluded the discharge was proper and
equitable.
The applicant states he would like his discharge upgraded to utilize G.I. Bill benefits. The Board noted that
when the applicant applied for these benefits, he signed a statement understanding that he must receive an
Honorable discharge to receive any 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, thus the applicant's discharge characterization should not be changed.
