CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2010-00365
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.
ISSUE: Applicant received a Bad Conduct Discharge
The Board finds that because the applicant did not receive an administrative discharge, thus his contention of
inequity is not applicable. The applicant received a Bad Conduct Discharge, a punitive discharge, as part of
his sentence resulting from a Special Court-Martial conviction. Under the provisions of Section 1553, 10
USC, the only basis for a change of a Bad Conduct discharge is clemency. The applicant presented evidence
which the DRB opined did not warrant granting clemency.
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.
The Discharge Review Board concluded that the applicant’s punitive discharge by Special Court-Martial is
appropriate under the facts and circumstances of this case and there is insufficient basis, as an act of
clemency, for change of discharge.
