AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE
CASE NUMBER

FD-2014-00014

GENERAL:         The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable and to change the reason 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. ISSUE: Applicant received a general discharge due to misconduct - conduct prejudicial to good order FINDING: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge
The applicant contends that the discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. He then states that the incident had happened 8 months prior to his separation. Additionally he states that he believes he deserves a second chance despite his discrepancies so that he may serve his country in the Unites States Air Force. The record indicates the applicant received an Article 15 and a Letter of Reprimand. His misconduct included underage consumption and arrested by civil authorities for DUI with BAC of .177. 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.

The DRB was pleased to see that the applicant was doing well, has a good job and was involved the community. However, no inequity or impropriety in his discharge was suggested or found in the course of the hearing. The Board concluded the misconduct of the applicant appropriately characterized his term of service.

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.
