AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE | pyp_9998-00228

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 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:

Although not explicitly stated, applicant contends his discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.

He admits that he was immature and has expressed a desire to have his discharge upgraded so that he may be
eligible to reenlist into the armed forces. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of
impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge. The records indicated the
applicant received an Article 15, five Letters of Reprimand, two Letters of Counseling, and a Record of
Individual Counseling for misconduct. The applicant was administratively disciplined for failure to report to
duty on time (seven times) and for failure to refrain from using his Government Travel Card for
unauthorized purchases. 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.

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.
