CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2010-00298

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 appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), with counsel, via video
teleconference between Andrews AFB, Maryland, and Robins AFB, Georgia, on 18 Sep 2012

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, change of reason and authority for discharge,
and change of reenlistment code.

ISSUE:

Issue 1. Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant
does submit that he believes he deserves a second chance to finish what he started and he now lives by the
“integrity first” motto. The record indicates the applicant was discharged following his admission that he
had smoked marijuana prior to entering the Air Force and concealed that information on his entrance
documents. He testified that he wanted to enter the Air Force as quickly as possible and his recruiter told
him just to answer “no” to all the questions and there would be no problem when enlisting. After review of
the record, the Board found no evidence to indicate that the applicant did not know right from wrong when
he signed the numerous military entrance documents, signing or indicating that he had never used marijuana
or illegal drugs. The Board found the negative aspects of this willful misconduct outweighed the positive

aspects of the applicant’s performance and concluded that the discharge was appropriate.

Issue 2. The DRB was pleased to see that the applicant was doing well and has a good job. However, no
inequity or impropriety in his discharge was suggested or found in the course of the hearing. The Board
concluded the misconduct of the applicant appropriately characterized his term of service.

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.
