CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00301

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 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:

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because the infraction occurred during his second term of
service which followed an “outstanding” first term. The records indicated the applicant received two (2)
letters of reprimand and one (1) Article 15. His misconduct included issuing two bad checks totaling
$1,057.25, failure to pay an outstanding debt to a merchant and falsifying the signature of a field grade
officer on a loan application. 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.

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.
