AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE |
CASE NUMBER FD-2013-00647 |
| GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable. 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 Board denies the upgrade of the discharge. ISSUE: Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct -Minor Disciplinary Infractions Although not explicitly stated, applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated the applicant received 2 Article 15s. His misconduct included failed to remain alert on duty, failed to stand at parade rest while vehicles approached the gate and failed to perform visual and physical inspections of credentials at entry control gates on several occasions. 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. Attachment: Examiner's Brief |
