AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE |
CASE NUMBER FD-2013-00303 |
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 that he should not be penalized indefinitely for mistakes he made when he was young. He states he would like a second chance despite his discrepancies so he may serve his country in the United States military again. The record indicated the applicant received two Article 15s, two Letters of Reprimand, and two Letters of Counseling. His misconduct included absent without proper leave, failed to go to duty on time, failed written portion of standard evaluation, slept on duty, left line badge in POV while on patrol in priority resource area, failed to go to a mandatory appointment, and stole credit card and wrongfully used credit card to purchase gas for POV. The DRB recognized the applicant was 21 years of age when the discharge took place. However, there is no evidence he was immature or did not know right from wrong. The Board opined the applicant was older than 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.
