CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00019
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: Upgrade of the discharge is approved.
The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by applicant substantiates an
impropriety that would justify a change of discharge. However, based upon the record and evidence
provided by applicant, the Board finds the applicant’s characterization for discharge inequitable.
ISSUE: Although not explicitly stated, applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too
harsh. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15 and one Letter of Reprimand lor
misconduct. The DRB opined that although the two instances of misconduct were due to alcohol related
incidents, the second instance of misconduct was over 14 months after the first incident. The first incident
was for underage drinking with a BAC of .07 for which he received an Article 15. The DRB opined that this
level disciplinary action was too harsh.
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.
However, in view of the foregoing findings, the Board concludes that the overall quality of applicant’s
service is more accurately reflected by an Honorable discharge under the provisions of Title 10, USC 1553.
