CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE | p).5909-00027
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable and to change the reason and
authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code.
The applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), without counsel, via video
teleconference between Andrews AFB Maryland and Robins AFB Georgia on 13 Apr 2010.
The following additional exhibits were submitted at the hearing:
Exhibit #5: Applicant’s Contentions
Exhibit #6: Character Reference Letter
Exhibit #7: Character Reference Letter
Exhibit #8: Two Pictures of Barber Shops owned by Applicant
Exhibit #9: University Achievement Certificate/Florida
Exhibit #10: College of Barber Achievement/Alabama
Exhibit #11: Business Barber License
The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.
FINDING: The Board grants the requested relief. The discharge is upgraded to honorable. The reason and
authority for the discharge, and the reenlistment code will also be changed to reflect the upgrade.
The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by applicant substantiates an
impropriety that would justify a change of discharge. Tlowever, based upon the record and evidence
provided by applicant, the Board finds the applicant’s discharge, and the reason and authority for discharge
inequitable.
ISSUE: The applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated
the applicant received an Article 15 and three Letters of Reprimand for misconduct. The misconduct
included. breaking curfew, communicating a threat, horseplay, fighting, and wearing civilian clothes. The
Board opined that the applicant’s accounting of events was creditable and his punishment for his offense was
inequitable. The Board determined that based on the evidence and the applicant’s testimony, the
characterization of the discharge should be upgraded to honorable. The Board further concluded that the
reason for discharge and the reenlistment code were inappropriate and should be changed.
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 and the reason for the discharge is more accurately
described as Secretarial Authority and the reenlistment code changed to 3K. under the provisions of Title 10,
USC 1553.

However, based upon the record and evidence provided by applicant, the Board finds the applicant’s character of discharge and reason and authority for discharge to be inequitable. The Discharge Review Board determined that the applicant’s discharge was too harsh and based on an offense that the applicant was found not to have committed. Otherwise, the discharge action would have been initiated four months prior.
AF | DRB | CY2011 | FD-2010-00298
FINDING: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and change of reenlistment code. Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge.
