CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00299
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for an upgrade of his charge, characterized as General/Under Honorable
Conditions, to an Honorable Discharge.
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 to the reason for discharge and change to the reenlistment code.
The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor information provided by the applicant substantiates
an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.
ISSUES:
The applicant submits no issues contending the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. He states since his
discharge he has matured in age and would like his discharge upgrade so he can reenter military service.
The record indicates that applicant received a Record on Individual Counseling, Letter of Reprimand and an
Article 15. The applicant’s disciplinary infractions are centered on two incidents of his willful alcohol
intoxication, specifically: driving while drunk, underage drinking, failure to go and entering a vehicle with
intent to commit theft/criminal trespass/obstruction of a law enforcement officer/interference with
government property/underage driving under the influence and reckless driving. Applicant was arrested
twice by civil authorities for these two incidents--the same ones leading to his discharge from the Air Force.
After thorough review of the records, the Board did consider the applicant’s duty history outside of his
alcohol-related incidents and arrest record. It is noteworthy that he volunteered for the physically
demanding TACP AFSC and achieved excellence at Basic Training, earning Distinguished Graduate honors,
and at TACP School, he excelled again. However, the applicant had ample opportunity to modify his
behavior, particularly after receipt of his first Letter of Reprimand, but chose not to do so. This willful
misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty history and performance and the Board
concluded that the discharge and reason for discharge were 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.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined and requests that the review be completed based on the available service record.

However, based upon the record and evidence provided by applicant, the Board finds the applicant’s character of discharge and reason and authority for discharge to be inequitable. The Discharge Review Board determined that the applicant’s discharge was too harsh and based on an offense that the applicant was found not to have committed. Otherwise, the discharge action would have been initiated four months prior.
