CASE NUMBER

AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00687

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable 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 Board denies the upgrade of the discharge and change of reenlistment code.

ISSUE: Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct—A pattern of Misconduct: Discreditable
Involvement with Military or Civil Authorities

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant does
admit he made mistakes during his military career and requests an upgrade in order to provide a better life
for his family. The record indicates the applicant received one Article 15, and two Letters of Reprimand.
His misconduct included misuse of his Government Travel Card, disorderly conduct, operated a motor
vehicle while ability to drive was impaired by alcohol, failure to carry his driver’s license, and failure to
complete the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Prevention & Treatment Program. The Board recognized the fact that
the applicant had served seven years total service before the discharge was initiated, but concluded the
applicant’s misconduct outweighed the positive aspects of his time in the Air Force. The Board noted the
applicant was entitled to request an administrative discharge board, but waived his right in order to receive a
General discharge. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity
to warrant an upgrade of the discharge.

The applicant cited his desire to receive the G.I. Bill benefits as justification for upgrade. The DRB noted
that when the applicant applied for these benefits, he signed a statement (DD Form 2366, on September 24,
2001) that he understood he must receive an Honorable discharge to receive future educational entitlements.
The Board was sympathetic to the impact the loss of these benefits was having on the applicant, but this is
not a matter of inequity or impropriety which would warrant an upgrade.

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.

without P&R. :

a. Basis for discharge: AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.50 states that Airmen are subject to
discharge for a pattern of misconduct in the current enlistment consisting wholly or
in part of misconduct more serious than that considered under paragraph 5.49. Paragraph 5.32
states that Airmen are subject to discharge if they are in a program of treatment for alcohol abuse
and fail to successfully complete the program due to inability or unwillingness to cooperate.
Pursuant to paragraph 5.2.1, Airmen must be counseled formally concerning their deficiencies
(through counselings, reprimands, nonjudicial punishments, etc.) dnd given the opportunity to

overcome them before a commander recommends discharge. SrA

 

received nonjudicial

punishment under Article 15, UCMJ, on 16 May 05, for governmdnt travel card (GTC) misuse.

Additionally, SrA received other rehabilitative opportunities

discharged, you may consider his entire military record, the nature|of his offenses and the
circumstances surrounding them. You must then decide whether his conduct was prejudicial to

good order and discipline. SrA
