CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00070
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: The Board grants the requested relief.
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 his discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.
The records indicated the applicant received five Letters of Reprimand and two Letters of Counseling for
misconduct. His misconduct consisted of failure to go, failure to complete required test, being late for work
(three times) and failure to complete clinical documentation. While the DRB did not condone the
applicant’s misconduct, they did feel it would have been more equitable to give him an honorable discharge.
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.
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 Llonorable discharge. Therefore, the applicant’s characterization
for discharge should be changed to Honorable.
