CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD-DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00533
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:
Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. He further contends that his service
was otherwise honorable with the exception of a few minor infractions. The records indicated the applicant
received two Article 15s for misconduct. His misconduct consisted of being derelict in the performance of
his duties by failing to remain in a position so as to keep accountability of all personnel for which he was
responsible, failed to maintain positive control of his Land Mobile Radio and failure to go. 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. The characterization of the discharge received by the
applicant was found to be appropriate.
The Board highly recommends that if the applicant can provide additional documented information to
substantiate his issue(s), that he should consider exercising their right to make a personal appearance before
the Board. Ifthe applicant chooses to exercise this right, he 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.
