CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00085
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 denies the upgrade of the discharge.
The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an
inequily or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.
ISSUE:
Issue 1. Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The record indicates the
applicant was discharged for unsatisfactory performance. he applicant failed his first CDC End of Course
Test (EOC) with a score of 60% on 3 April 1996. The applicant was informed of his failing score on 24
April 1996. On or about 30 April 1996 the applicant elected to decline the EOC retest and was made fully
aware that he would be discharged from the United States Air Force for failure to progress in upgrade
training. The applicant submitted letters and performance feedback from his former co-workers attesting to
his dependability and “‘can do” attitude. No inequity or impropriety in his discharge was found in the course
of the records review. The Board concluded the character of the discharge was appropriate.
Issue 2. The applicant cited his desire to receive G.1. Bill benefits as a justification for upgrade. The Board
was sympathetic of the loss of these benefits, but this is not a matter of equity or propriety that would
warrant an upgrade.
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.
