CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00177
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable and to change the reason and
authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code.
The applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), with counsel, via video
teleconference between Andrews AFB Maryland and Warner Robins AFB Georgia on 13 Apr 2010.
The following additional exhibits were submitted at the hearing:
Exhibit #5: Applicant’s Contentions
Exhibit #6: College Transcript
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 and 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.
ISSUES:
Issue 1. Applicant contends he should not be penalized indefinitely for a mistake he made when young.
The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15 for stealing a magazine and ice cream bar from the
base shopette; an Article 15 for unlawfully touching a sergeant by placing his arms around her neck and
body; a Letter of Reprimand (LOR) for stealing clothing from the base military clothing store; an LOR for
sexually harassing several women from | January 1993 through 18 October 1993; and uttering a check for
$202 when he did not have sufficient funds to cover the check. The DRB found that there was no evidence
he was immature or did not know right from wrong. The applicant was in his second term of enlistment and
was between 23 and 24 years of age when he committed the misconduct. The Board opined that the
applicant’s age did not excuse his deviation from the standard of conduct expected of all airmen. The DRB
further opined that through the administrative actions discussed above, the applicant had ample opportunities
to change his negative behavior. The Board concluded that the negative aspects of the applicant’s service
outweighed the positive contributions he made in his Air Force career. The characterization of the discharge
received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.
Issue 2, Applicant contends the Board should take into account his post-service activities. The DRB was
pleased to see that the applicant was doing well and to hear about his leadership role in the local community.
However, no inequity or impropriety in his discharge was suggested or found in the course of the hearing.
The Board concluded the characterization of the applicant’s term of service was appropriate.
Issue 3. Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh due to the personal
problems he was facing at the time of his discharge. The DRB appreciated the stress the applicant was under
as a result of the medical diagnosis he received in April 1992. The DRB was also pleased to hear that the
applicant was dealing well with his life altering illness and to hear about his leadership role in helping the
State of Tennessee lawmakers develop policy to address his illness. However, the DRB opined that there
was no relationship between the applicant’s illness and his misconduct and concluded the characterization of
the discharge received by the applicant was 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.
