AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00394
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable and to change the reason and
authority for the discharge to Secretarial Authority, and to change the reenlistment code.
The applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), without counsel, at
Andrews AFB on 21 Jan 2010.
The following additional exhibits were submitted at the hearing:
Exhibit #6: Character Letter from Mr. A.D. Scroggins
Exhibit #7: Letter of Appreciation from Lt Col Baker
The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.
FINDING: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge,
and change of reenlistment code.
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:
The applicant contends that his discharge was inequitable because the Air Force did not take into account the
good things he did while in the service because if it had, he would have received an honorable rather than a
general discharge. On the DD Form 293, the applicant asked that his discharge be changed to honorable and
that his clearance be reinstated. However, during the DRB hearing, the applicant acknowledged that security
clearance issues were not within the purview of the DRB.
The applicant was discharged under AFI 36-3208, Administration Separation of Airmen, paragraph 5.49,
Misconduct: Minor Disciplinary Infractions, with an under honorable conditions (general) discharge.
During his two years in the Air Force, the applicant received three Letters of Reprimand, a Letter of
Counseling and an Article 15 for offenses ranging from failure to go, sleeping through classes, departing his
duty station without authority, dereliction of duty by failing to include reference imagery mortars in his pre-
mission brief, and wrongfully traveling to a location while on leave that he was not authorized to do so.
The applicant contended that during his two years in the Air Force, he did a lot of volunteer work, was
involved in sports, a member of the Airman’s Council, and saved an airman’s life. The DRB took note of
the applicant's duty performance as documented by his performance report, letters of recommendation and
other accomplishments. However, the Board found that the applicant’s misconduct during his two years of
service outweighed the positive aspects of the applicant’s duty performance. The Board concluded the
discharge was appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case.
CONCLUSION: 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 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 and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.
