CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00701

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.

The Board finds the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and
after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify a change of
discharge.

ISSUE:

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant does
submit that he believes he had a difficult time due to the end of a 13 year marriage in divorce. The record
indicates the applicant received two Article 15s. His misconduct included resisting arrest, DWI (2x), and
drunk and disorderly. The Board opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample
opportunities to change his behavior. The DRB also took note of the applicant's duty performance as
documented by his performance reports and other accomplishments. They found the seriousness of the
willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance. The Board concluded the
discharge was appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case, 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.

DD FORM 293, NOV 2006 “Page 2 of 4 Pages
6. Issues: Why an upgrade or change is requested.

To whom it may concern,

About a year and a half ago my wife told me she wanted a divorce which absolutely
devastated me. We had been married for 13 years and have two beautiful children. I
later found out the reason she was leaving me was because she had met some one on the
internet through a site called My Space. She then proceeded to move to Florida along
with our two children to be with him leaving me in Ohio. I had an extremely difficult
time dealing with this life changing event and started drinking more to deal with the pain.
As a result I got into trouble and was sent to rehab. My commander decided it would be
best that I got out of the service and move closer to my children. My job performance
was never an issue and never suffered during this devastating time. I had never gotten in
trouble my entire 15 years of service or before I joined the military until this event in my
life. I have always been a hard worker for the military and loved my job as an EMT
caring for the wounded and the sick. I have been deployed to Iraq, England, and
Germany in support of Iraqi Freedom to care for our wounded soldiers. I have since
moved to Florida and see my children on a regular basis and I no longer drink alcohol. I
believe an upgrade to my discharge would provide a better chance for me at finding ajob

to provide a better life for me and my children.
Thank you for your time in this matter.

Sincerely,
