CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00121
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:
1. The applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. Due to the missing discharge
package to explain the exact circumstances of the discharge, the Board was left to conclude that the
misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected from an NCO. The record indicates the
applicant was discharged for Misconduct—Failure to meet Financial obligations. The applicant improperly
used his government credit card and then failed to pay his delinquent government credit balance to Bank of
America. Again, based on the paucity of the information, the characterization of the discharge received by
the applicant was found to be appropriate.
The Board highly recommends that if the applicant can provide additional documented information to
substantiate his issue, he should consider exercising his right to make a personal appearance before the
Board. If the applicant chooses to exercise his right, he should be prepared to provide the DRB with factual
evidence of the inequity/impropriety and any exemplary post-service accomplishments as well as any
contributions to the community.
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 duc 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.
