CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2010-00437
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 General discharge for Failure in the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment
Program (ADAPT)
Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was based on two isolated and immature mistakes
in sixteen months of service. The records indicated the applicant was discharged for failure in the ADAPT
Program. On September 18, 2003, the applicant’s commander was notified by the ADAPT Program
manager that the applicant had consumed alcohol while enrolled in ADAPT and failed the treatment
program. When considering how to characterize the applicant’s service his commander considered an
Article 15 the applicant received on August 7, 2003 for overindulgence in intoxicating liquor or drugs that
incapacitated the applicant for the proper performance of duty. The Board found the seriousness of the
willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance. Additionally, the Board
recognized the applicant was 22 years of age when the discharge took place. However there is no evidence
that the he was immature or did not know right from wrong. The Board opined the applicant was older than
the vast majority of first-term members who properly adhere to the Air Force’s standards of conduct. The
Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity to warrant an upgrade of
the discharge.
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.
