AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00225

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 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 and authority for discharge, and change of
reenlistment code are denied.

The Board finds the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and
after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify a change of
discharge.

ISSUE:

Applicant submitted no issues and requested that the review be completed based on the available service
record. The applicant does submit that he believes he deserves a second chance and would like to reenlist as
he would eventually like to become an officer. The applicant was discharged for commission of a serious
offense based on evidence that his infant daughter, who had been born prematurely, suffered serious abuse
while in the care of the applicant and his wife. The letter of reprimand received by the applicant noted that
the applicant had either caused the injuries or failed to get medical attention for the baby, who was obviously
in distress. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this
case on which to base an upgrade of the discharge. The Board found the seriousness of the willful
misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance. The Board concluded the
characterization, reason for discharge and the reenlistment code appropriate for the reasons which were the
basis for this case.

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.
