CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2010-00312
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 the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and
after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify a change of
discharge.
ISSUE: The applicant states that his discharge was inequitable because it was based on this one assignment
in 10 years of service with no other adverse action. The record indicates the applicant received two Article
15s and one Vacation action. His misconduct included the following: without authority absent from place of
duty, with intent to deceive made three separate false statements, failed to pay just debt, failed to follow
leave procedures, failed to pay Government Travel card, and misused Government Travel card. The DRB
opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his
negative behavior. The Board concluded the applicant’s misconduct was well below the level of conduct
expected of all military members. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of
impropriety or inequity to warrant an upgrade of the discharge.
Applicant states that his discharge did not take into account the good things he did while in the service. The
DRB took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by his performance reports, letters of
recommendation 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.
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.
