CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00499
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:
The apphcant was discharged [AW AFI 36-3209, paragraph 3.13.2, unsatisfactory participation with a
general, under honorable conditions discharge characterization. In her request for an upgrade to her
discharge, the applicant contends: “my mother became very ill and I was obligated as a devoted daughter to
take care of my mother. | had no control over my situation. | am my mother’s only daughter. My mother
ended up being bedridden...... If | had not been there for my mother she would not be alive today.”
Upon review of the record, the Board was unable to find any documentation regarding the discharge in the
applicant’s records. Due to lack of evidence and supporting documentation, the Board relies on the
presumption of regularity and finds the characterization of the discharge was appropriate.
The Board highly recommends that if the applicant can provide additional documented information to
substantiate her issue that she should consider exercising their right to make a personal appearance before
the Board. Ifthe applicant chooses to exercise her right, she should be prepared to provide the DRB with
factual evidence of the inequity/impropriety and any exemplary post-service accomplishments as well as any
contributions to the community.
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.
