AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE
CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00043

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 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 request for the upgrade of the discharge, to change the reason and authority for discharge, and to change the reenlistment code are denied.

ISSUE: Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct - Minor Disciplinary Infractions (Primary) and Mental Disorders -Adjustment Disorder (Secondary)

Applicant contends that he should not be penalized indefinitely for mistakes he made when he was young. The record indicated the applicant received one Article 15, one Vacation, four Letters of Reprimand and three Letters of Counseling. His misconduct included made a false statement, failed to report to FTAC (2x), failed to report to PT, failed to show or cancel a dental appointment, failed to maintain quarters in acceptable manner (2x), took extended lunch, failed to report to duty on time, failed to report to supervisor as required (7x), departed duty without authority, and slept on duty. The DRB recognized the applicant was 19 years of age when the discharge took place. However, there is no evidence e was immature or did not know right from wrong. The Board opined the applicant was the same age as the vast majority of first-term members who properly adhere to the Air Force's standards of conduct. The DRB concluded that the characterization of the applicant's discharge was appropriate due to the misconduct.

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.
