CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00693

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 Misconduct—Minor Disciplinary Infractions

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant does
submit that he requests an upgrade based on fulfilling personal goals, obtaining respect and to create career
opportunities. The record indicates the applicant received one Article 15, five Letters of Reprimand, and a
Letter of Counseling. His misconduct included failure to go to duty on time (10x), and failure to obey an
order not to smoke in his dorm room. The Board opined that through these administrative actions, the
applicant had ample opportunities to change his behavior. They found the seriousness of the willful
misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance. 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.

To Whom it May Concern:

My name is and I was enlisted in the United States.Air Force for
approximately 1.5 years. Starting out, everything was going great. I loved everything about the

~ military and was anxious to serve my country. But, after being in Kansas for a few months,
things started to go down hill for me. I began to show up late for work.and breaking some of the
rules. Latér, I was discharged with a general but under honorable conditioiis dischargé, and came
back home. Since then, I have been living at home, with my parents and: working at a local

. grocery store. Ever since I came home, I have regretted the mistakes I made that led to my

_ discharge. I know that I have made ‘some mistakes, during my prior service time, and J am
regrettably sorry for them. I have taken full responsibility for my actions and have done all I can
do to become a better person and be more mature and responsible. Mostly, | Tam striving to
become the type of young man that would make my parents, my family, my peers, and my
country proud of me. Furthermore, I understand that my prior actions will not be tolerated and
those occurrences will never happen again. Secondly, I do not want to make a career in the
grocery business and am aware that niy current status with you prohibits me from exploring
many other job/career opportunities. I will be forever in your debt, if you will consider
upgrading my discharge to Honorable, and allow me the chance to prove myself and create a
better life for myself'and my future family. Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully Submitted,

a. Basis for Dischaige: AFPD 36- 32 and AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.49, states that Airmen

who engage in a patte
subject to discharge. mo infractions under this section may involve

nonpunitive regulations|or minor offenses under the UCMJ, and they

b. Appropriateness bf Discharge: AFI 36-3208, paragraph 6.1.1,

lists the factors that you

should consider in making this determination. Among these factors are the seriousness of the

circumstances that make Amn subject to discharge, whether

those circumstances are
net ARS ca thneven het nethine Aenea tes ot
‘

likely to continue or recur, and whether he has the ability to performihis duties effectively now
and in the future. During his time in the Air Force and as stated in the 22 Nov 06
recommendation from} e 22 LRS/CC; Amn has been an ayerage Airman.
While Amn raeets minimal job standards, his recurring misconduct has also been a
problem. The unit made several attempts to correct his behavior, as evidenced by Letters of
-Reprimand, an Article 15; a Letter of Counseling, and Unfavorable Information File. Amn
repetitive misconduct and seeming unwillingness to modify his behavior and comply
with Air Force mal indicate that discharge is appropriate.

c. Characterization of the Discharge: AFI 36-3208, paragraph 1117.3, requires that you
consider the Airman’s age, length of service, grade, aptitude, physical and mental condition, and
the standards of acceptable conduct and performance for Airmen in determining the proper
‘characterization. Paragraph 1.18.2 states that when an Airman’s service has been faithful on the
whole, yet significant jegative aspects of the Airman’s conduct or parformance of duty outweigh
the positive aspects of his record, a general discharge is appropriate. AJC on-duty
conduct resulted in several corrective actions. His misconduct indicates his disregard for military
standards. A1C misconduct outweighs any positive aspects of his career. Therefore,

a general discharge chatacterization is appropriate.

d.- Probation and Rthabilitation: Under AFI 36-3208, paragraph|7,3, a member must have
the potential to serve satisfactorily and the capacity to be rehabilitated before an offer of P&R is
appropriate. A1C refusal to respond to his unit’s progressive rehabilitative efforts
indicates that an offer of probation atid rehabilitation is unwarranted jn this case. Furthermore,
the third criterion for Pi is whether or not retention is consistent with the maintenance of good
order and discipline in the U.S. Air Force. Amn has consistently and continually failed
to improve his duty performance. Amn retention would be inconsistent with the
maintenance of good order and discipline in the U.S. Air Force.

e. Security Clearance: Due to Amn not having access td sensitive information or
sensitive compartmenteid information, auvu avurding to AFI 31-50] is not required.

. ; .
4. OPTIONS: As the Separation authority, you must authorize or rebommend one of four
courses of action:

a. Direct that the meknber be discharged with a general discharge Wwith or without suspension
for probation and rehabilitation;

b. Authorize that thé tember be retained in the U.S. Air Force;

c. Recommend to the 18 AF/CC that the member be discharged with an honorable
discharge; or :

_ d. Recommend that a board be convened to determine whether th¢ member should be
discharged with an under other than honorable conditions discharge.
5. RECOMMENDATION: The evidence in the file is factually and legally sufficient to
support the 22 LRS/CG s discharge recommendation. I recommend you sign the attached letter
directing Amn Woolard be involuntarily discharged from the United|States Air Force pursuant to
AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.49, with a general discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
