CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00580
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 the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and
after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify a change of
discharge.
ISSUE: The applicant acknowledged that he had great leadership while in the Air Force, but he did not take
advantage of it. He stated that he was “young and very foolish for making mistakes,” which caused his
discharge. The applicant was discharged under AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.49, Misconduct: Minor
Disciplinary Infractions. During his two years and three months of service, the applicant received three
Records of Individual Counseling (RICs), three Letters of Reprimand (LOR), an Armed Forces Traffic
Ticket and nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for offenses ranging from failure to go and dereliction of duty to
underage drinking.
The applicant did not raise any issue of inequity or impropriety; however he focused on his youth for making
foolish mistakes while in the Air Force. The DRB recognized the applicant was 20 years of age when most
of the misconduct took place; however, the applicant continually failed to adhere to Air Force standards
despite rehabilitative efforts by the Air Force. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence
of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of his discharge. The DRB concluded
that the characterization of the applicant’s discharge was appropriate due to the misconduct.
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.
