CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2010-00412
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: The request for the upgrade of the discharge, to change of reason and authority for discharge,
and to change of reenlistment code are denied.
ISSUE: Applicant received a general discharge for Misconduct — A Pattern of Misconduct
Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant does
submit that he has matured since his discharge and would like another opportunity to serve his country in the
Air Force Reserves. The record indicates the applicant received one Article 15, one Vacation, three Letters
of Reprimand, and seven Records of Individual Counseling. His misconduct included failure to go to duty
on-time (7x), failure to obey an order, failure to follow chain of command, failure to maintain dorm room
standards, failure to study CDC volumes, failure to adhere to dress and appearance standards, failure to
complete duty, failure to wear reflective belt was required, and failed a CDC pre-test. The Board opined that
through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his behavior.
Additionally, they found the applicant was the same age 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.
