CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00046
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 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:
Issue 1. Although not explicitly stated, applicant contends his discharge was inequitable because it was too
harsh. He admits that his lack of maturity and experience were factors in him not being successful in the Air
Force. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15, a Vacation, two Letters of Reprimand,
and a Record of Individual Counseling for misconduct. His misconduct included holding an alcoholic
beverage while underage, failure to report for duty, failure to complete CDC’s, leaving work and not
returning, rude behavior, negative attitude, being late for duty, making a false statement (2x), and failing to
update personnel records. 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.
Issue 2. Applicant states that his discharge did not take into account the good things he did while in the
service. The DRB took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by his performance reports,
letters of recommendation and other accomplishments. They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct
offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance. The Board concluded the discharge was
appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case.
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 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.
