AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE		 CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00283
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 is denied.
ISSUE: Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct -Minor Disciplinary Infractions Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. Additionally, he submits that he
believes he deserves a second chance despite his discrepancies so that he may serve his country in the United
States military again. The records indicated the applicant received two Article 15, three Letters of Reprimand, and one Letter of Counseling. His misconduct included failed to report an assault by another airman upon his wife and departed base with the airman, failed to maintain dorm room standards (2x), failed to attend a scheduled dental appointment, slept on duty, and failed to properly handle firearm by throwing an airman's weapon to him from a guard tower. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his negative behavior. The Board concluded that the negative aspects of the applicant's service outweighed the positive contributions he made in his Air Force career.
The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.

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.
