CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00014
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.
FINDING: The Board denies 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.
ISSUE:
Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh and he was harassed by his superiors
and peers. He has expressed a desire to have his discharge upgraded so that he may be eligible to reenlist
into the armed forces. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15, three Letters of
Reprimand, and three Letters of Counseling for misconduct. His misconduct consisted of failure to maintain
the office cell phone on his person at all times during the duty day, missed formation, making a false official
statement (2x), failure to go, and dereliction of duty. 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), he should consider exercising his 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.
