CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00472
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
and requests that the review be completed based on the available service record.
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.
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:
Although not explicitly stated, applicant contends his discharge was inequitable because he only made one
mistake and his discharge was too harsh. The records indicated the applicant had a Special Court Martial for
being absent without leave for 37 days and possession of marijuana. He was punished with confinement for
six months, forfeiture of pay for 6 months, and reduction in grade to Airman Basic. The Board concluded
that the negative aspects of the applicant’s service outweighed the positive contributions he made in his Air
Force career. The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.
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.
