CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00115
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 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 reason and authority for discharge inequitable.
ISSUES:
Issue 1. Applicant contends her youth and uncertainty contributed greatly to her misconduct. The record
indicates the applicant received a General discharge for misconduct, namely a civilian conviction. She also
had other indicators of misconduct to include a Letter of Counseling, and two Letters of Reprimand. 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 and reason for
discharge were appropriate.
Issue 2. Applicant notes the good things she did while in the service. The DRB took note of the applicant's
duty performance as documented by her performance reports 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.
Issue 3. The DRB recognized the fact that the applicant had served 4 years total service before the discharge
was initiated, but concluded the applicant’s misconduct outweighed the positive aspects of her time in the
Air Force. Applicant contends that she should not be penalized indefinitely for a mistake she made when
young. The DRB recognized the applicant was 22 years of age when the discharge took place. However,
there is no evidence she was immature or did not know right from wrong. The Board opined the applicant
was older than the vast majority of first-term members who properly adhere to the Air Force’s standards of
conduct. The DRB concluded that the characterization of the applicant’s discharge was appropriate due to
the misconduct.
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.
