AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE. FD-2008-00292

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: The Board grants the requested relief.

The Board finds that the evidence of record substantiates an impropriety that would justify a change of
discharge.

ISSUE:

Applicant submitted no specific issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge, but requests an
upgrade of his discharge because he would like to utilize the G.I. Bill to further his education and better
support his daughter. The record indicates the applicant received two Letters of Counseling, two Letters of
Reprimand; two Letters of Admonition and one Article 15. His misconduct included failure to document
Delay Enlistment Program follow-up/folders; misuse of government-owned vehicle, failure to pay financial
debt, failure to accept priority three leads for recruitment and failure to make assigned phone calls/contacts.
After thorough review of the service record, the Board found evidence of an impropriety in the discharge of

the applicant. Based on the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-3208, paragraphs 6.2.2. and 6.2.2.2., “an
Airman recommended for discharge.... must be offered an opportunity for a hearing by an administrative
discharge board if the member has 6 years or more total active and inactive military service at the time the

°°

discharge process starts.” The record indicates at the time of his discharge notification, the applicant had
over six years total active/inactive military service and was not afforded a board hearing. The Board
Majority determined that there was substantial doubt that the discharge characterization would have
remained the same if an administrative hearing had convened and concluded the discharge was improper.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was inconsistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was not within the discretion of the
discharge authority and that the applicant was not provided full administrative due process.

In view of the foregoing findings, the Board concludes that the overall quality of applicant’s service is more
accurately reflected by an Honorable discharge under the provisions of Title 10, USC 1553.
