AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE |
CASE NUMBER FD-2013-00573 |
| 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 of reenlistment code is denied. ISSUE: Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct -Minor Disciplinary Infractions Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant does submit that he would like an upgrade in order to find better civilian employment opportunities and to make an effort to complete his military service obligation. The record indicates the applicant received one Article 15 and four Letters of Reprimand. His misconduct included failed to refrain from underage drinking, and failed to go to duty on time (5x). The Board opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his behavior. They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance. The Board reviewed the entire record 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. Attachment: Examiner's Brief |
