CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00066
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: Upgrade of the discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and change of
reenlistment code are denied.
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 was discharged for unsatisfactory participation from Grissom Air Reserve Base (ARB). Applicant
stated on DD form 293 he could not find full time employment in Indiana or Ohio near his reserve unit;
however the applicant stated he did find employment in Iowa and requested a transfer to the 132 Towa Air
National Guard, but the transfer was denied. The Board was unable to find any documentation regarding the
discharge. Due to lack of evidence and supporting documentation to explain the discharge, the Board
concludes that the misconduct was a significant departure from the conduct expected of all military
members. The Board relies on the presumption of regularity and finds the characterization; reason for
discharge and the reenlistment code were appropriate.
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.
