AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00002

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.

FINDINGS: 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 stated that he took complete responsibility for his discharge, but would like to show
that he is “not the same, immature, aimless individual that entered BMT almost 7 years ago.”

The record indicated the applicant received the following corrective action:
1. 4 Feb 04: Letter of Reprimand (LOR) for failure to go.
2, 14 May 04: Letter of Counseling (LOC) for failure to go.
3. 14 Jun 04: Letter of Admonishment (LOA) for failure to go.
4. 8 Jul 04: LOR for failure to go.
5. 19 Jul 04: LOR for failure to obey a lawful order.
18 Aug 04: LOR for driving while alcohol concentration was .046/failing field sobriety test.

. 20 Sep 04: LOC for failure to go.
5 Oct 04: LOR for failure to go.
29 Nov 04: LOC for dereliction of duty.
10. 11 Feb 05: LOR for dereliction of duty by misusing government travel card.

Although the applicant did not raise any issue of inequity or impropriety, he focused on the fact that he made
numerous youthful mistakes and he is not the “same immature, aimless individual” when he entered Basic
Military Training (BMT). The DRB recognized the applicant was 19 years of age when he entered the
service and 21 years of age when the discharge took place. The record shows that the applicant’s unit took
numerous rehabilitative measures to correct the applicant’s failure to adhere to standards—but the applicant
failed to correct his behavior. The DRB concluded that the characterization of the applicant’s discharge was
appropriate due to the repeated nature of his misconduct.

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 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.
