AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00556

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to change the reason and
authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code.

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.

ISSUE: From the DD Form 293, the applicant contends discharge was inequitable because he was given
inadequate time and consideration to correct his behavior.

FINDINGS: The Board denics 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.

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because his last nonjudicial punishment issued under Article
15, UCMJ, consisted of 6 months probation, but he was not allowed to serve those 6 months to prove
himself. The records indicated the applicant received two Article 15s, three Letters of Reprimand, and three
Letters of Counseling for misconduct. His misconduct included assault, failure to go at the time prescribed
to his place of duty (3x), leaving his appointed place of duty without authority (2x), smoking a cigarette
while checking I.D. cards, expressing a complete disregard for policies and procedures in the performances
of his Security Forces duties, and failure to be available to be reached in a timely manner during an exercise
recall that he knew was going to take place. 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, the reason and authority for discharge, and the
reenlistment code were all found to be appropriate.

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 the applicant 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.
