AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE | pp_50998.00245

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.

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 is 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 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 record indicates the applicant was determined to be an
ADAPT failure based on a “demonstrated pattern of unacceptable behavior, inability to comply with
treatment plan, and continued substance use after receiving initial treatment.” In addition to failing the
ADAPT program, the applicant received one Article 15, a Vacation Action, and one Letter of Reprimand.

The Article 15 and Vacation Action were for misconduct involving alcohol use. The Board opined that
through these administrative actions and the Air Force’s attempts to help the applicant overcome his alcohol
problem, 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
characterization of the applicant’s service was 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.
